Compare entered monthly housing and debt payments with gross monthly income; this arithmetic does not determine loan eligibility.
DTI is entered monthly housing and debt payments divided by gross monthly income before taxes and deductions. Include applicable qualifying housing costs and count each obligation once; when replacing a housing payment, do not add both current and proposed housing. The gross difference excludes taxes and living expenses and is not net or spendable income. Lender and product criteria vary; this arithmetic does not guarantee approval.
