Hi, In the account view, the value of the liabilities accounts, sorted by Assets and Liabilities are positive, and that's OK. Then net value = Assets - Liabilities. But in the Bank view, Liabilities are also positive, and the the calculation of the net value per bank doesn't take in account that they are liabilities. So the net value per bank is wrong (= Assets + Liabilities) Thank you for your help Reproducible: Always

As you can see in the attached screenshot the net worth is properly computed in both views (since they are equal) using 4.6.4 on Windows. Could you exemplify your report with some screenshots?
Hi - I'm experiencing the same error in calculating net worth. Normally, Net worth = Assets - Liabilities the system is calculating it as: Net worth = Assets + Liabilities any fix? thanks. Rene
This is a three year old, closed bug report. If you really thing there is a problem, please provide screenshots, as per Comment 3. Also, please specify which version of KMM you are using. Thanks.

First, 4.12.5 is the KDE version, not the KMyMoney version. That should 4.8.x unless you are running an older version. Second, your screenshot looks to be the bottom of the home page. On that display, liabilities are shown as negative numbers, so adding is correct. What type of accounts are above in the right column, and are the balances in that column the same or reversed from their balances of those accounts in the ledger view?
Created attachment 104281 [details] Screenshot kmymoney2.docx Hi Jack -The Kmymoney version I'm using is 4.8.0I'm not sure what the calculation in the background is but on the home page all figures displayed are positive.I attached a screenshot of the Liabilities column.I am also including a screenshot of the Net worth report.As you can see, the liabilities are negative (in red) but for some reason the Net worth result seems as if it's being calculated as Assets + Absolute value of Liabilities.

Renee, It would be easier if you just attached images (jpeg or png) and not complete word documents. Also, your entire message becomes a new comment on the bug, so there is no need to quote the entire original message. Can you provide a sample KMM file? My suspicion is that you are entering your liabilities backwards. In my case, on the main screen, liabilities show up as negative. The only positive liability is credit cards which I overpaid, so they actually owe me some pennies.
Created attachment 104300 [details] Screenshot1.jpg Jack, I'm not a computer savvy, so you have to go easy on me with technical stuff. I created a new file. I just entered two simple accounts. One asset ($100,000) and the other liability (50,000). I was able to save the screenshot as jpeg. As you can see from the home screen, the system, again, is adding the two. I'm not sure how I would enter the liability backwards, but I just followed the instructions when setting up the account. I also attached this new file (I hope this is the right one) Rene

I will look at the test file later today.

Sorry for the delayed response, but I was correct, you seem to misunderstand how liability accounts work in KMyMoney. An account of type liability represents money you owe. A positive amount in the account represents a debt, but it is shown negative on the home page. I assume your intent with the starting balance of the liability account is to show you owe someone that amount. If you switch the sign on the starting balance, it will work as you expect, even if it is not completely obvious at first. If you would play with a credit card or loan account, the names of the columns (such as charge and payment) might make more sense than the simple increase and decrease of a liability account. However, in that case, you can think of it as an increase or decrease of your liability - which is the amount you owe. Your starting balance shows as a decrease, as if you had overpaid a loan. If you have any particular suggestions for improving the manual, I'll be glad to consider them as I really do need to update it for the Frameworks version currently being developed.
