Debt To Income Ratio Formula
Debt-to-income ratio formula is the percentage of a borrower's monthly gross income that goes toward
paying debts. It is usually expressed as two numbers: The 'Front End' and the 'Back End'.
The 'Front End' refers to the
percentage of income that goes toward paying off a mortgage principal and interest, mortgage
insurance, hazard insurance, property taxes, and homeowner's association dues. The 'Back End'
refers to the percentage of income that goes toward paying all recurring debts, including
the 'Front End', and other debts such as credit card payments, car loan payments,
and child support payments.
Most small banks amd local lenders require a debt-to-income ratio of 36% to qualify for a mortgage,
but larger lenders will often permit a 'Back End' Debt to Income Ratio of up to 45% on a
1st Morgage and 50% on a 2nd Mortgage. If you have a higher 'DTI' than 45% there are many
SubPrime' lenders that will allow your 'Back End' ratio to be as high as 55%.
Federal Housing Administration loan ratios are typically 29/41.
