Understanding debt‑to‑income ratios globally

Debt‑to‑income (DTI) compares what you owe to what you earn each month. Lenders use two views: a front‑end ratio focused on housing costs and a back‑end ratio that includes all recurring debts. Since income sources and borrowing norms vary worldwide, this calculator uses flexible inputs so students and professionals can assess affordability in any country.

Enter your gross monthly income and your monthly debt payments. If you’re considering a new loan, add its proposed payment to see how it impacts your back‑end DTI. Results show your front‑end DTI, back‑end DTI, total monthly debt, and remaining income after debt. The doughnut chart visualizes each debt category so you can quickly spot what’s driving your ratio.

Who benefits from this calculator

  • Students: Plan scholarship refunds, student loans, or part‑time income against living costs.
  • Professionals: Stress‑test mortgage, car, and personal loans before applying.
  • Freelancers: Model variable income and prioritize which debts to reduce first.
  • Small businesses/HR: Offer financial wellness insights during relocation or salary discussions.

Key concepts to know

  • Front‑end DTI: Housing costs divided by gross monthly income.
  • Back‑end DTI: All monthly debts (including housing) divided by gross monthly income.
  • Gross vs. net: DTI typically uses gross income; remaining income here helps you consider net affordability.
  • Category breakdown: Seeing debts by type highlights where reductions move the needle most.

Best practices for accurate estimates

  • Use typical amounts: Input your normal monthly debt obligations, not occasional spikes.
  • Include the new loan: Add the proposed payment to preview how it changes DTI.
  • Revisit often: Update after raises, balance transfers, or changes in rent.
  • Prioritize high impact: Reducing housing or auto payments often improves DTI the fastest.
