MEMORANDUM OPINION OF THE COURT
AFFIRMING
I. ISSUE
This dissolution of marriage action presents a single issue for our consideration. Appellant made a $7,500.00 nonmarital contribution towards the total cost of approximately $47,000.00 used to acquire and remodel the marital residence. Seven years later, after the parties separated but prior to dissolution, a fire destroyed the residence and casualty insurance paid $63,000.00 for the loss. The trial court assigned $20,560.44 to Appellant as his nonmarital portion of the insurance proceeds. The Court of Appeals concluded that Appellant had failed to show his $7,500.00 contribution appreciated as a result of general economic conditions, reversed the judgment, and directed the trial court to assign only $7,500.00 to Appellant as his nonmarital share of the proceeds with the remainder divided as marital property. Was Appellant required to show that his nonmarital contribution increased in value as a result of general economic conditions? Because Appellant failed to rebut the KRS 403.190(3) presumption that all property acquired during the marriage is marital property, the insurance proceeds in excess of Appellant’s initial nonmarital contribution are marital property.
II. BACKGROUND
Following their marriage on August 29, 1987, the parties jointly obtained a $39,368.90 loan from Fredonia Valley Bank and used the proceeds from that loan and $7,500.00 of Appellant’s premarital property to purchase a house, relocate the house onto eleven (11) acres of real property owned separately by Appellant,1 and to make improvements to the house including the addition of a second story. Appellee made additional improvements to the interior of the house by painting, wallpapering, and staining. Because of financial difficulties during the marriage, the parties did not reduce the loan’s principal balance.
In August of 1994, after the parties separated, but before dissolution, a fire destroyed the house, and casualty insurance paid $63,000.00 for the structure. With the parties’ agreement, the trial court entered an order directing that $39,635.86 of the insurance proceeds be used to pay off *906the loan’s outstanding balance and that the remainder of the insurance proceeds, $23,364.14, be placed into an escrow account for distribution by the trial court. The parties stipulated that $7,500.00 of these proceeds represented Appellant’s nonmarital contribution, but continue to disagree as to whether any of the remaining $15,864.14 could be characterized as Appellant’s nonmarital property. Accordingly, the primary issue before the trial court thus concerned how to distribute this $15,864.14 disputed portion of the insurance proceeds.
Appellant argued that the trial court should divide the disputed insurance proceeds into marital and nonmarital shares using the formula articulated in Brandenburg v. Brandenburg2 — which would entitle him to the lion’s share of those proceeds as appreciation on his $7,500.00 nonmarital contribution. Appellee argued that Appellant should receive only $7,500.00 as nonmarital property, and that under the holding of Goderwis v. Goder-wis,,3, the disputed amount resulted from the joint efforts of the parties and therefore constituted marital property that the trial court should equitably distribute between the parties.
The Commissioner agreed with the Appellant and recommended dividing the proceeds using the so-called “Brandenburg formula”4:
FINDINGS
[[Image here]]
2. Both parties stipulated that Petitioner [Appellant] made a $7,500.00 non-marital contribution for renovation and construction of a house which was an improvement made on the nonmarital eleven acres. The evidence indicated that the total amount of money expended on the house was $46,868.90 which amount included Petitioner’s $7,500.00 nonmarital contribution in addition to the loan from Fredonia Valley Bank in the amount of $39,368.90. Paul Riley, President, of Fredonia Valley Bank testified that there had not been any principal reduction of the debt during the parties marriage and that the balance owed plus interest was in excess of the original loan. Mr. Riley further testified that upon receipt of the fire loss proceeds from the insurance company, the mortgage indebtedness to Fredonia Valley Bank in the amount of $39,635.86 was paid in full.
The Respondent’s [Appellee’s] counsel has argued that Goderwis v. Goderwis, Ky.App. [sic] 780 S.W.2d 39 (1989) should be applied to the circumstances surrounding the improvements made by the parties on Petitioner’s nonmarital property. The Goderwis decision deals with the valuation of an on going [sic] auto repair business which had increased in value during the marriage due to the joint efforts of the parties. The issue in Goderwis deals with whether or not the increase in value of a business owned by a spouse prior to marriage which increased in value during the marriage could be awarded to the wife on the basis of her contribution as a homemaker. The court held in the Goderwis decision, that an increase in the value during the marriage could be awarded to the wife when it was shown that she made contributions to the marriage as a homemaker. The Commissioner finds that the Goderwis decision dose [sic] not apply to the case at hand *907inasmuch as the valuation was not an ongoing business, that this matter involved improvements to nonmarital property which was dealt with specifically by the court in Brandenburg v. Brandenburg [sic], Ky.App., 617 S.W.d [sic] 871, (1981). Under these circumstances the Commissioner will utilize the formula of Brandenburg, supra in determining the nonmarital and marital contribution of each party.
Respondent testified that during the marriage that she had made improvements to the house which included painting and wall papering, which the Commissioner finds to have a value of $1,000.00. In applying the Brandenburg formula to the nonmarital and marital contributions, the Commissioner determines that the Petitioner’s nonmarital contribution is $7,500.00 and the marital contribution is $1,000.00 for a total contribution of $8,500.00. Therefore, the marital contribution of $1,000.00 would be 12% of the total contribution and the nonmarital contribution of $7,500 would be 88% of the total contribution under the Brandenburg formula. The non-marital percentage of the balance of the house insurance proceeds from the fire loss would be $20,560.44. The marital percentage under the Brandenburg formula would be $2,808.70 of which the Respondent would be entitled to $1,401.85. The Commissioner finds that the remaining house proceeds of $28,064.14 after payment of the $39,635.86 to Fredonia Valley Bank, shall be divided $21,962.20 to Petitioner and $1,401.85 to Respondent.

CONCLUSIONS AND ORDER
[[Image here]]
2. The remaining house insurance proceeds in the amount of $23,064.14 shall be divided as follows:
a. Petitioner shall receive $21,962.29 as his nonmarital and marital portion of the house insurance proceeds.
b. Respondent shall receive $1,401.85 as her marital portion of the house insurance proceeds.
Appellee filed exceptions to the Commissioner’s report and specifically challenged the Commissioner’s finding that Brandenburg governed the distribution of the disputed portion of the insurance proceeds. After allowing the parties to argue the issue, the trial court denied the exceptions and entered a judgment adopting the Commissioner’s report.
On direct appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed and remanded with instructions for the trial court to return Appellant’s $7,500.00 nonmarital contribution and to divide the disputed insurance proceeds as marital property:
In the present case, appellee [Jeffrey Travis, now Appellant] was awarded $7,500 in nonmarital property from the insurance proceeds. The issue presented is whether appellee is entitled to a percentage of the proceeds proportionate to his nonmarital contribution or if the proceeds should be divided as marital property.
If the value of nonmarital property increases following the marriage as a result of general economic conditions, the increase is deemed to be nonmarital. If the value increases, however, because of the joint efforts of the parties, it is divisible marital property. Goderwis v. Goderwis, ky. [sic], 780 S.W.2d 39, 40 (1989). There is no evidence that appel-lee would have realized such a dramatic increase in his initial $7,500 contribution based on economic factors alone. During the marriage, the parties made sig*908nificant improvements to the home including the addition of a second story made possible by the marital debt incurred and the parties’ joint efforts. Excluding the additional $7,500 invested as nonmarital property, there is no evidence presented to overcome the presumption that the insurance proceeds are marital property. KRS 403.190(3).
The trial court erred in applying the Brandenburg formula. It should have simply awarded appellee $7,500 as his nonmarital contribution and the remainder divided as marital property in just proportions. KRS 403.190.
This case is reversed and remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Appellant sought discretionary review in this Court, which we granted, and we now affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals.
III. DIVISION OF REMAINING PROCEEDS
The disposition of property in a dissolution of marriage action is governed by statute:
(1) In a proceeding for dissolution of the marriage ..., the court shall assign each spouse’s property to him. It also shall divide the marital property without regard to marital misconduct in just proportions considering all relevant factors including:
(a) Contribution of each spouse to acquisition of the marital property, including contribution of a spouse as homemaker;
(b) Value of the property set apart to each spouse;
(c) Duration of the marriage; and
(d)Economic circumstances of each spouse when the division of property is to become effective[ ] ....
(2) For the purpose of this chapter, “marital property” means all property acquired by either spouse subsequent to the marriage except:
(a) Property acquired by gift, bequest, devise, or descent during the marriage and the income derived therefrom unless there are significant activities of either spouse which contributed to the increase in value of said property and the income earned therefrom;
(b) Property acquired in exchange for property acquired before the marriage or in exchange for property acquired by gift, bequest, devise, or descent;
(c) Property acquired by a spouse after a decree of legal separation;
(d) Property excluded by valid agreement of the parties; and
(e) The increase in value of property acquired before the marriage to the extent that such increase did not result from the efforts of the parties during marriage.
(3) All property acquired by either spouse after the marriage and before a decree of legal separation is presumed to be marital property, regardless of whether title is held individually or by the spouses in some form of co-ownership such as joint tenancy, tenancy in common, tenancy by the entirety, and community property. The presumption of marital property is overcome by a showing that the property was acquired by a method fisted in subsection (2) of this section.5
Thus, in dissolution of marriage actions, a trial court’s division of the par*909ties’ property6 requires a three-step process: (1) the trial court first characterizes each item of property as marital7 or non-marital;8 (2) the trial court then assigns each party’s nonmarital property to that party; and (8) finally, the trial court equitably divides the marital property between the parties.
Here, the Court of Appeals found that the trial court erred at the outset of the property division process when it found that a portion of the disputed insurance proceeds constituted appreciation on Appellant’s $7,500.00 nonmarital contribution and, using the Brandenburg formula, assigned a portion of the amount in dispute to Appellant as his nonmarital property under KRS 403.190(2)(e). The Court of Appeals concluded that Appellant had not introduced evidence sufficient to overcome the KRS 403.190(3) presumption that “[a]ll property acquired by either spouse after the marriage and before a decree of legal separation is ... marital property.”9 After a review of the record, we agree with the Court of Appeals that Appellant failed to rebut the presumption that the disputed proceeds were marital property, and therefore the trial court erred in assigning any portion of the disputed proceeds to Appellant as his nonmarital property.
An item of property will often consist of both nonmarital and marital components, and when this occurs, a trial court must determine the parties’ separate nonmarital and marital shares or interests in the property on the basis of the evidence before the court. Kentucky courts have typically applied the “source of funds” rule10 to characterize property or to determine parties’ nonmarital and marital interests in such property.11
*910When the property acquired during the marriage includes an increase in the value of an asset containing both marital and nonmarital components, trial courts must determine from the evidence “why the increase in value occurred”12 because “where the value of [non-marital] property increases after marriage due to general economic conditions, such increase is not marital property, but the opposite is true when the increase in value is a result of the joint efforts of the parties.”13 KRS 304.190(3), however, creates a presumption that any such increase in value is marital property, and, therefore, a party asserting that he or she should receive appreciation upon a nonmarital contribution as his or her nonmarital property carries the burden of proving the portion of the increase in value attributable to the nonmarital contribution.14 By virtue of the KRS *911408.190(3) presumption, the failure to do so will result in the increase being characterized as marital property.15
The asset at issue in this case is the parties’ house — which was acquired during their marriage — and the evidence at trial showed that this house was purchased, renovated, and improved, in part, with Appellant’s $7,500.00 nonmarital property, Of course, Appellant’s $7,500.00 nonmarital contribution was not the only investment made in the property — the parties also made marital contributions in the form of the proceeds from a marital debt in the amount of $39,368.9016 and Appellee’s “sweat equity” investment which the trial court valued at $1,000.00.17 At dissolution, the value of the house was represented by the $63,000.00 insurance settlement which was greater than the amount of nonmarital funds, loan proceeds, and the value of the “sweat equity” the parties had invested in *912the property. The trial court made no separate finding of fact that any of the overall appreciation in value resulted from Appellant’s nonmarital contribution or general economic circumstances, but after applying the Brandenburg formula, assigned eighty-eight percent (88%) of the remaining insurance proceeds to Appellant. The trial court’s findings and conclusions, however, implicitly rest upon the inference that nearly all of the house’s increase in value resulted from general economic conditions instead of the joint efforts of the parties. We agree with the Court of Appeals that Appellant introduced no evidence to support such an inference, and we therefore find that the trial court erred when it utilized the Brandenburg formula and assigned a portion of this increase to Appellant as nonmarital property.
Appellant’s direct examination testimony established only the amount of money the parties invested in the house and the amount of the insurance proceeds received when the house was destroyed:
Counsel: In addition to the $39,000.00 you just testified to, is it correct that you also took $7500.00 of which has been stipulated to?
Jeff Travis: That’s correct.
Counsel: So the total amount of money you put into the house was approximately $47, — 48,000.00, is that correct?
Jeff Travis: That is correct.
Counsel: You had the house insured for $63,000.00. Is that true?
Jeff Travis: That is true.
[[Image here]]
Counsel: So, the house you constructed for approximately $47,000.00, I’m rounding that off, you then received $63,000.00 in proceeds from the insurance, that correct?
Jeff Travis: Yeah.
Counsel: Now, after the Fredonia Bank Payoff was made, is it correct that there was $23,364.14 left?
Jeff Travis: Yes.
Although Appellant claims that KRE 403.190(2)(e) placed the burden of proof upon Appellee to prove whether any increase resulted from the joint efforts of the parties, we find this allegation without merit because KRE 403.190(3) explicitly allocates the burden of proof to the party claiming property as nonmarital:
(3) All property acquired by either spouse after the marriage and before a decree of legal separation is presumed to be marital property, regardless of whether title is held individually or by the spouses in some form of co-ownership such as joint tenancy, tenancy in common, tenancy by the entirety, and community property. The presumption of marital property is overcome by a showing that the property was acquired by a method listed in subsection (2) of this section.18
Appellant introduced no evidence from which the trial court could determine why the property increased in value. The KRS 304.190(3) presumption placed the burden on Appellant to show an increase in value as a result of general economic circumstances. Although the Appellant could have rebutted the presumption with “evidence which, in the mind of the fact finder, would cause a reasonable person *913to justifiably disregard the presumption that the property in question is marital property,” 19 we agree with the Court of Appeals that Appellant failed to do so. Appellant only introduced evidence that the parties invested approximately $47,000.00 (including Appellant’s $7,500.00 nonmarital contribution) in the house and that they received $63,000.00 in insurance proceeds after the fire. This evidence was not probative as to the relevant inquiry, and the evidence at trial suggests that this alleged “appreciation” might represent little more than a good bargain on the purchase of the home or an increase in value resulting from the parties’ efforts in remodeling the residence.
The trial court merely assumed that some of the parties’ windfall resulted from Appellant’s nonmarital contribution and attempted to use the Brandenburg formula to determine the proportion of the proceeds attributable to that contribution. However, the initial assumption that some of the increase in value is nonmarital property is inconsistent with the KRS 304.190(3) presumption that all property acquired during the marriage (including appreciation in assets’ value) is marital property. Because Appellant introduced no evidence to rebut the presumption, the trial court erred when it characterized any of the disputed proceeds as nonmarital property. We thus agree with the Court of Appeals’s decision to reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand the matter to the trial court to distribute the disputed amount as marital property under KRS 304.190(1).
IV. CONCLUSION
For the above reasons, we affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals.
LAMBERT, C.J., GRAVES, KELLER, STUMBO and WTNTERSHEIMER, JJ., concur. COOPER, J., dissents by separate opinion with JOHNSTONE, J., joining that dissent.. As Appellant had inherited the property, the Domestic Relations Commissioner (DRC) appropriately found that "the eleven acres is ... nonmarital property which shall be restored to him.” See KRS 403.190(2)(a):
"[M]arital property” means all property acquired by either spouse subsequent to the marriage except:
"(a) Property acquired by gift, bequest, devise, or descent during the marriage and the income derived therefrom unless there are significant activities of either spouse which contributed to the increase in value of said property and the income earned therefrom[].”
Id. (emphasis added). Appellee does not dispute the DRC’s finding or the trial court's assignment of this property to Appellant as his nonmarital property.

. Previous attempts by Kentucky’s appellate courts to define "property” may have contributed to the want of consistent guidelines for determining the marital and nonmarital interests in property. See Robinson v. Robinson, Ky.App., 569 S.W.2d 178, 181 (1978) (overruled on other grounds by Brandenburg v. Brandenburg, supra note 2) ("As used in KRS 403.190 in referring to restoration of the property of each spouse, the word ‘property’ means equity." Id. (emphasis added)); Newman v. Newman, Ky., 597 S.W.2d 137, 138 (1980) (“We hasten at this point to add, however, that as used in KRS 403.190 the word property' includes equity in property." Id. (emphasis added)). KRS Chapter 403 does not separately define "property” and we can find no basis for defining “property” as used in KRS 403.190 as anything other than its ordinary meaning. Accordingly, the word "property,” as used in this statute, refers to a determinate thing or an interest in a determinate thing. See BLACK’S LAW DICTIONARY 1232 (7th Ed.1999) (defining "property” as "[t]he right to possess, use, and enjoy a determinate thing (either a tract of land or a chattel)[.]" Id.).
. Courts use the phrases "marital property” and "community property” interchangeably to describe the parties’ property subject to equitable division by the court. The latter phase is more common in other jurisdictions.
. Courts use the words “nonmarital” and "separate” interchangeably to describe the property assigned to each party as "each spouse’s property.” "Nonmarital” is the more common usage in this jurisdiction; while "separate,” is the more common usage in other jurisdictions with similar statutes.
. KRS 403.190(3).
. The "source of funds rule” simply means that the character of the property, i.e., whether it is marital, nonmarital, or both, is determined by the source of the funds used to acquire property.

Newman, supra note 6 at 138 (approving "[t]he trial court [holding] that the interest of William and the interest of *910Polly in the fair market value of the property at the time of disposition (dissolution of marriage) were the same percentages as their respective contributions to the total equity in the property.” Id.); Robinson v. Robinson, supra note 6 at 181 ("If either spouse was the owner of property subject to indebtedness pri- or to the marriage, the equity in that property shall be considered nonmarital property at the time of separation in that proportion which this equity bore to the value of the property at the time of the marriage.”/d.); Woosnam v. Woosnam, Ky.App., 587 S.W.2d 262, 263-4 (1979):
rr]he chancellor should first determine, using the formula in Robinson, the value of Patricia’s nonmarital interest in the Surrey Drive properly at the date it was sold. Then, a new ratio should be determined with the value of Patricia's nonmarital interest in the Surrey Drive property being the numerator and the value or purchase price of the Carriage Drive properly being its denominator. The new ratio should then be applied to the value of the Carriage Drive property at the date of separation to determine the value of Patricia’s nonmarital interest to be restored to her. The method described above permits the spouse having a nonmarital interest in property at the date of marriage to realize additional appreciation in the value of that interest after reinvestment, in proportion to its value at the date of separation.

.See Angel v. Angel, Ky.App., 562 S.W.2d 661, 663 (1978):
That portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Bethlehem Church farm attributable to the investment of Ester Angel’s $1,400.00 inheritance constituted nonmari-tal property. The payment of the balance of the purchase price and the improvements were the result of the "team effort” of the parties during the marriage. That portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Bethlehem Church property attributable to the improvements and the payment of the balance of the purchase price for the land constituted marital property. Unfortunately, there is no evidence in the record indicating the value of the improvements. Consequently, Ester Angel has not demonstrated that there was any increase in the value of the investment of his $1,400.00 inheritance. Except for the initial investment of his *911$1,400.00 inheritance, Ester Angel has not overcome the presumption that the proceeds of the sale of the Bethlehem Church farm constituted marital property.

Bench & Bar, Vol. 9, No. 2, at 14, 15 (April 1983) (arguing that courts should "include the entire loan as a marital contribution and require that the marital estate discharge the balance.” Id.) The mortgage loan was a joint obligation of the parties, incurred during the marriage, obtained upon their joint credit, and secured by the parties' marital residence. Repayment was anticipated from marital funds, and it was these proceeds that were primarily used to acquire and improve the marital residence. As such, the loan was clearly a marital debt, and the loan proceeds fall within the statutory criteria for a marital contribution. See KRS 403.190(2)(b) (" '[Mjarital property’ means all property acquired by either spouse subsequent to the marriage.” Id. (emphasis added)); Daniels v. Daniels, Ky.App., 726 S.W.2d 705, 706-7 (1986); Bruton v. Bruton, Ky.App., 569 S.W.2d 182 (1978) (finding a debt secured by one party’s separate collateral to be a marital debt "in light of the undisputed fact that the loan proceeds were used for marital purposes generally and in certain instances to provide personal benefit to [the other party]." Id. at 182).
. The trial court cited Brandenburg as support for its determination that Appellee's "sweat equity” constituted a marital contribution to the increase in the equity of their marital residence. While we agree with this determination, we do not find support for it in Brandenburg. In fact, the Brandenburg court specifically rejected the concept that a non-monetary contribution, such as sweat equity, could result in an increase in overall equity:
The contribution of either spouse of other than marital or nonmarital funds shall not be considered in the increase of equity of the property, and any dicta or other language to the contrary in Robinson v. Robinson, Ky.App., 569 S.W.2d 178 (1978), is specifically overruled. For example, the contribution of one spouse as homemaker, etc., shall be considered only in affixing the percentage of the marital property to be assigned to that spouse.
Brandenburg v. Brandenburg, supra note 2 at 873 (emphasis added).
We, however, hold that the trial court properly considered Appellee's "sweat equity” as a marital contribution despite the holding in Brandenburg. "Equity” is the difference between the value of the property, or its sales price, and the mortgage against it. See BLACK’S LAW DICTIONARY 560 (7th Ed.1999). While monetary investments can increase the value of real property, clearly non-monetary contributions can do the same. If property’s value increases as a result of one’s labor and the mortgage against the property remains the same, it naturally follows that the equity in the property has increased. If, as was the case here, a party to a marriage increases the value of the property by his or her labors, then the increase in the value of the property resulting from this effort is acquired during the marriage and, thus, marital property, regardless of whether the property itself is otherwise characterized as one spouse’s nonmarital property. Accordingly, we agree with the trial court’s determination that Appellee’s efforts increased the parties’ marital interest in the residence.
