About this Debt-to-Income Calculator
The Debt-to-Income Calculator divides recurring monthly debt payments by gross monthly income to produce a simple DTI percentage. Lenders may define qualifying income and debt differently, so this should be treated as a general planning figure.

How the calculation works
DTI equals monthly debt payments ÷ gross monthly income × 100. Real underwriting can include specific rules about which obligations and income sources count.
How to use it
- Enter total recurring monthly debt payments.
- Enter gross monthly income before deductions.
- Calculate to see the estimated DTI ratio.
Practical example
Monthly debts of 1,200 with gross income of 4,000 produce a DTI of 30%.

A lower ratio means less of the entered income is committed to the entered debts, but lending decisions use many factors.
Should I use net income?
