Understanding DTI Ratios

  • Front-End DTI — Your housing costs (PITI) divided by gross monthly income. Most lenders want this under 28-31%.
  • Back-End DTI — All monthly debts (housing + other) divided by gross monthly income. The max for most loans is 43%, though some programs allow up to 50%.
  • How to improve — Pay down debts, increase income, or choose a less expensive home to lower your DTI ratios.
