2029 DTI Debt To Income Ratio

The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is expressed as a percentage and is your total “minimum” monthly debt divided by the gross monthly income. The Top DTI ratio will reflect the primary housing debt divided by the gross monthly income. The Bottom DTI ratio will reflect all debts including the primary housing debt divided by the gross monthly income.

There are many fields that can affect a loan’s DTI ratio. Below is a list for reference.
