How this result works

What to enter

Enter gross income before taxes, monthly or annual, and the required monthly payment from each current credit-card or loan statement. For a card, use its minimum payment, not its balance or new purchases. Do not put rent, groceries, utilities, insurance, or subscriptions in the debt-payment total.

How the calculation works

The debt-to-income ratio divides total required monthly debt payments by gross monthly income and expresses the result as a percentage. If income is annual, the calculator first divides it by 12. It also shows remaining debt-payment room at 36% and 43% planning comparisons.

How to read the result

Read the ratio as the share of gross monthly income already committed to required debt payments. The 36% and 43% figures show comparisons within this tool, not lender approval thresholds. A lender may count some obligations differently and review credit, assets, and income separately.

Important assumptions

The comparison assumes your listed debts are the payments a lender would count. It does not account for variable income or debts omitted from your entries.
