What is Debt-to-Income Ratio?
The Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio compares your monthly debt payments to your monthly income. Itβs a key metric used by lenders to determine your ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts.
Formula:
DTI Ratio = (Total Monthly Debt / Monthly Income) Γ 100
Example:
If your monthly income is βΉ50,000 and your total debt payments are βΉ15,000, your DTI ratio is 30%. Thatβs generally considered a healthy ratio for loan approvals.
DTI Interpretation Guide:
- β Below 36%: Good β Most lenders prefer this
- β οΈ 36% to 43%: Acceptable β May need compensating factors
- β Above 43%: Risky β Difficult to get loan approvals
