Formula used

Front-end DTI = housing payment ÷ gross monthly income × 100. Back-end DTI = (housing payment + car loans + credit card minimums + student loans + other monthly debts) ÷ gross monthly income × 100. Remaining gross income after listed debts = gross monthly income − listed monthly debts.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Best for mortgage pre-checks, refinance conversations, rental applications, debt reviews, adviser notes and personal budget worksheets where the debt lines need a printable paper trail.

  • Income is treated as gross monthly income before taxes, deductions and living expenses.
  • Debt payments are monthly recurring obligations, not total loan balances or optional extra repayments.
  • Housing cost should include the housing payment basis being reviewed, such as rent or mortgage principal, interest, taxes, insurance and required dues where applicable.
  • The target DTI field is a planning comparison only. Mortgage, rental, lending and assistance programmes use their own underwriting rules and documents.
  • This calculator is for budgeting, pre-screening and classroom examples; it is not a loan approval, credit decision, legal advice or financial advice.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: print the debt lines separately. A single DTI percentage is easy to quote, but a lender, renter, adviser or household budget review needs to see which monthly obligation is driving the ratio.

Method

Front-end DTI = housing payment ÷ gross monthly income × 100. Back-end DTI = (housing payment + car loans + credit card minimums + student loans + other monthly debts) ÷ gross monthly income × 100. Remaining gross income after listed debts = gross monthly income − listed monthly debts.

  1. With $6,500 gross monthly income, $1,800 housing cost, $450 car payment, $220 credit card minimums, $300 student loan payment and $150 other debts, total listed monthly debt is $2,920. Front-end DTI = 1,800 ÷ 6,500 × 100 = 27.69%. Back-end DTI = 2,920 ÷ 6,500 × 100 = 44.92%.

Assumptions

  • Income is treated as gross monthly income before taxes, deductions and living expenses.
  • Debt payments are monthly recurring obligations, not total loan balances or optional extra repayments.
  • Housing cost should include the housing payment basis being reviewed, such as rent or mortgage principal, interest, taxes, insurance and required dues where applicable.
  • The target DTI field is a planning comparison only. Mortgage, rental, lending and assistance programmes use their own underwriting rules and documents.
