Understanding DTI

What is DTI?

Debt-to-income ratio compares your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income. Lenders use this to evaluate your ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts.

DTI Thresholds

  • 36% or less - Ideal for most loans
  • 37-43% - Maximum for qualified mortgages
  • Above 43% - May limit loan options

Ways to Improve DTI

  • Pay down existing debts
  • Avoid taking on new debt
  • Increase your income
  • Refinance high-rate debts

Two Types of DTI

  • Front-end: Housing costs only (ideal: 28% or less)
  • Back-end: All monthly debts (ideal: 36% or less)
