Last reviewed: July 18, 2026

DTI compares required monthly debt payments with gross monthly income. Lenders may calculate it differently, so use this as an educational estimate.

Common examples include minimum credit-card payments, auto loans, student loans, personal loans, alimony or support obligations, and the proposed housing payment when evaluating a mortgage.

This tool is not a lending decision or preapproval.
