What is Debt-to-Income Ratio?

Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes toward paying monthly debts. Lenders use it to assess your ability to manage mortgage payments. A lower DTI generally improves your chances of qualifying for a loan and may help you get better rates.

Front-End DTI = Housing Costs ÷ Gross Income

Back-End DTI = Total Monthly Debts ÷ Gross Income

This calculator shows both front-end (housing only) and back-end (all debts) ratios, compares you to common loan program limits, and estimates how much room you have for additional debt.

What Your Results Mean

Front-End DTI (Housing Ratio)

Housing costs (PITI) ÷ gross monthly income. Lenders often prefer 28% or less.

Back-End DTI (Total Debt Ratio)

All monthly debt payments ÷ gross income. The qualified mortgage (QM) limit is typically 43%.

Qualification Zones

Green (≤36%), yellow (36–43%), orange (43–50%), red (>50%). Lower is better for qualification.

Front-End and Back-End Ratios

Your front-end ratio shows what share of income goes to housing; back-end shows total debt burden. Conventional loans often use 28/36 (front/back), FHA may allow higher with compensating factors, and the QM rule caps back-end at 43% for many loans.

Loan Program Comparison

The table shows whether you meet typical front and back DTI limits for Conventional, FHA, VA, and the QM limit. Qualifies means you're within the limit; Exceeds means you're over.

Room for Additional Debt

How much more monthly debt you could take and still stay at or below 43% back-end DTI. Useful when planning new obligations.

Verwendete Formeln

The calculator uses the following:
