How It Works

Debt-to-Income ratio = (Total monthly debt payments ÷ Gross monthly income) × 100

Lenders use DTI as a key measure of your ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts. The "back-end" DTI includes all monthly obligations: mortgage/rent, car loans, student loans, credit card minimums, and other installment debts.

Most conventional lenders use 43% as the maximum DTI for qualified mortgages (QM), though the ideal is 36% or below. A DTI under 20% demonstrates excellent financial health.
