How this calculator works

DTI = total monthly debt payments ÷ gross monthly income. Most conventional US mortgage lenders want to see DTI at or below 36%, with some allowing up to 43-50% for well-qualified borrowers.

Guidelines vary by lender and loan type (conventional, FHA, VA). This is a general reference, not a pre-approval.
