Formule
DTI compares monthly debt payments with gross monthly income.
Front-end DTI = housing payment / gross monthly income × 100
Back-end DTI = all monthly debt payments / gross monthly income × 100
Example
- Income $6,500/month; housing $1,800; other debts $700.
- Front-end = 1,800 / 6,500 = 27.7%.
- Back-end = 2,500 / 6,500 = 38.5%, which is manageable but above the 36% many lenders prefer.
Questions fréquentes
What is a good DTI ratio?
Many lenders prefer a back-end ratio of 36% or less, with housing at 28% or less. For US qualified mortgages, 43% has long been a common upper limit, though some programs allow up to 50% with strong compensating factors.
Is DTI based on gross or net income?
Lenders use gross income, before taxes and deductions.
How can I lower my DTI?
Pay down balances (especially those with high minimum payments), avoid new debt before applying for a loan, or increase your documented income.
