DTI Ratio (Debt-to-Income)

A personal finance measure that compares an individual's monthly debt payments (including credit cards, car loans, student loans, and prospective housing payment) to their gross monthly income. Most conventional underwriters look for a maximum stable DTI of 43% to 45%, though some FHA programs go higher.

Also known as: debt-to-income, debt-to-income ratio
