# Average net worth by age in Ireland: Are you on track?

Source: https://wealthscout.app/updates/average-net-worth-by-age-ireland

Irish household net worth grows steadily with age, peaking at €337,900 between ages 55 and 64. While the CSO median provides a useful official benchmark, it is heavily skewed by Dublin housing equity. Tracking your own specific household figures is the only way to forecast your financial future.

## Takeaways

- The median Irish household wealth is a far more accurate benchmark than the average, which is skewed heavily by the Dublin property market.
- A high net worth percentile means very little if your wealth is entirely trapped in an illiquid property.
- With housing affordability at crisis levels, regional context is vital when assessing your financial progress.

**Scope.** This guide references broad CSO statistical trends. Exact figures change with each reporting cycle. Do not use national averages as financial advice.
