Debt-to-Income Ratio

The debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is a financial measure that compares an individual's total monthly debt payments to their gross monthly income. Lenders use this ratio to evaluate a borrower's ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts.

What is Debt-to-Income Ratio?

DTI is calculated by dividing total monthly debt payments by gross monthly income. A lower DTI indicates a healthier financial situation, while a higher DTI may signal potential repayment issues.
