Debt-to-Income Ratio Calculator

Practical tip: lenders care about your debt-to-income ratio because it shows how much of your pay is already spoken for. Lower is better when you apply.

What this means
How it works: DTI = total monthly debt payments ÷ gross monthly income × 100. General guidance bands: under 36% is generally comfortable, 36–43% is a watch zone, and over 43% is high. This is general guidance only, not a lending decision.

How to use this tool

1

Enter your gross monthly income — before taxes, from all regular sources.

2

Enter each monthly debt payment — housing, car, credit cards, student loans, and anything else you repay monthly.

3

Leave any field at 0 if it does not apply to you, then press Calculate.

4

Read your DTI and the plain-language guidance. Remember it is general guidance only, not a lending decision.

Estimates only, not financial advice. Check final terms with your lender.
