DTI Calculator FAQ

Most lenders prefer a DTI below 36%. A DTI below 20% is excellent. Between 36-49% you may still qualify for loans but terms may be worse. Above 50% makes qualifying for credit very difficult.

DTI includes monthly payments for: mortgage or rent, car loans, student loans, credit card minimums, personal loans, and child support. It does not include utilities, groceries, or insurance.

You can improve DTI by paying down existing debt, increasing your income, avoiding new debt, or a combination. Even paying off one credit card can meaningfully lower your ratio.
