Debt-to-income ratio, or DTI, compares monthly debt payments with gross monthly income. It can help screen affordability, but it does not guarantee lender approval or denial.

Estimate your debt-to-income ratio

Enter recurring monthly debt payments and gross monthly income. This is an educational estimate, not a lender decision.

How to use DTI

Enter recurring monthly debt payments and gross monthly income. The result is an estimate that can help you think about affordability before requesting additional debt.

Limitations

DTI does not include every expense and lender rules vary. Essential living costs, credit history, income stability, and state availability may also matter.

Methodology and limitations

DTI is calculated as monthly debt payments divided by gross monthly income, multiplied by 100. The calculator rounds to one decimal place.
