# Add a Household Account

Add a Household Account automatically by creating a new Contact.

NPSP handles Household Account creation for you automatically, so there's no need for you to create Household Accounts yourself. When you create a new Contact, NPSP automatically creates a new Household Account for that Contact, **as long as you leave the Account Name field blank**.

See [Add or Remove a Contact](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.npsp_add_or_remove_a_contact.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Learn how to add or remove constituent records from a household account record.") for more details on creating Contacts and Household Accounts.
