- DTI (debt-to-income ratio) is the ratio of your total monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income. It is one measure lenders use to assess your ability to repay.
- Example: If you have monthly payments of $1500 for a mortgage, $100 for a car loan, and $400 for other debts, totaling $2,000, and your gross monthly income is $6,000, your DTI is 33 percent.
