How it works
Front-end DTI is housing cost divided by gross monthly income; back-end DTI adds every other recurring debt payment. Lenders typically look for 36% or less, with 43% a common hard ceiling.
Frequently asked questions
Which income should I use?
Gross, before tax — that is the figure lenders underwrite against.
Do utilities count?
No. Only debt obligations such as loans, cards and child support, not everyday living costs.
