DTI Calculator

Lenders compare what you owe each month against what you earn before tax. The housing ratio covers the mortgage payment alone; the total debt ratio (usually just called DTI) adds car loans, student loans, credit cards and everything else. Most conventional lenders look for a total ratio at or below 36%, with 43% as the usual hard ceiling.
