Debt-to-Income Ratio Calculator guide
The debt-to-income ratio calculator helps you understand how lenders evaluate your affordability. DTI compares your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income. Front-end DTI uses only housing costs (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA). Back-end DTI includes all debts (housing, car, student loans, credit cards, etc.).
This calculator shows your estimated housing payment. To calculate DTI, divide that payment (and other debts) by your gross monthly income. Many lenders prefer back-end DTI below 43%. Use the payment from this calculator with our home affordability calculator to plan your purchase. All math runs client-side.
