Debt-to-Income Ratio

Debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is calculated by dividing total monthly debt payments by gross monthly income. supported

Lenders use DTI as one measure of a borrower’s ability to manage monthly debt payments and repay new credit. supported

Gross monthly income means income before taxes and other payroll deductions, subject to the lender’s verification and eligibility rules. supported

DTI commonly includes required monthly debt obligations such as housing payments, auto loans, student loans, credit-card minimum payments, and other recurring debts recognized by the lender. supported

Every loan product and lender can apply different DTI limits or underwriting rules, so there is no single universal DTI cutoff for all borrowers and all credit products. supported

For covered mortgage transactions, ability-to-repay rules require creditors to make a reasonable and good-faith determination of repayment ability using verified or documented information and specified underwriting factors. supported

Reducing recurring monthly debt obligations or increasing qualifying gross income lowers DTI, all else equal. supported

DTI does not capture every household expense, so a borrower can satisfy a lender’s DTI standard and still have a strained personal budget. supported
