Understanding Debt-to-Income Ratio

What is DTI Ratio?

Your debt-to-income ratio compares your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income. It's a key metric lenders use to assess your ability to repay loans.

Why DTI Matters

  • Loan approval decisions for mortgages and other credit
  • Interest rates offered by lenders
  • Overall financial health assessment

Key Formula

DTI Ratio:
DTI = (Total Monthly Debt / Gross Monthly Income) × 100

Improving Your DTI

  • Increase your income through promotions or side work
  • Pay down existing debt balances
  • Avoid taking on new debt
