    Financial Literacy

    What is DTI and how is it calculated?

    Debt-to-Income (DTI) is the ratio of your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income. It's a key metric banks use.

    Banks typically require your DTI to be under 45% - 50%.

    • Included in debt: future mortgage, auto loans, minimum credit card payments, student loans.
    • Not included: utilities, internet, auto insurance, groceries.

    DTI Calculation Example

    1. Your Income (Monthly)

    Gross Salary$10,000

    2. Your Debts (Monthly)

    Car Payment$500
    Credit Cards (min)$200
    Planned Mortgage (PITI)$3,300
    Total Debt:$4,000

    Formula: ($4,000 ÷ $10,000) × 100

    Your DTI = 40%
