Back-end DTI ratio

Back-end (all debts) ratio0.0%

A lower DTI gives you more options. This is an estimate; lender standards vary.

Assumptions: DTI uses monthly minimum payments, not balances. 'Front-end' is housing only; 'back-end' includes all debts. Many lenders prefer a back-end ratio below 36%.
