Debt-to-Income Ratios
Method: Front-end ratio (28%)** Back-end ratio (36%)**
Step 1
Determine your monthly gross income (annual income divided by 12).
Enter annual income: $48,000 ÷ 12 = $4,000.00 $4,000.00
Step 2
With a down payment of at least 10 percent, lenders use 28 percent (front-end ratio) of monthly gross income as a guideline for TIPI (taxes, insurance, principal, and interest), and 36 percent (back-end ratio) of monthly gross income as a guideline for TIPI plus other debt payments. X 0.28 0.36
$1,120.00 $1,440.00
Step 3
Subtract other monthly debt payments (e.g., payments on an auto loan) ——— $380.00
and
an estimate of the monthly costs of property taxes and homeowner’s insurance. $300.00 $300.00
Affordable monthly mortgage payment >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $820.00 $760.00
Step 4
Divide this amount by the monthly mortgage payment per $1,000 based on current mortgage rates—an 8 percent, 30-year loan, for example (see Exhibit 7–7)—and multiply by $1,000. ÷ 7.34000 7.34000
X $1,000.00 $1,000.00
Monthly mortgage payment factor (exact) per each $1,000 in principal: Enter rate: 8.00% Exact factor is
Enter term (years): 30 7.33765
Affordable mortgage amount >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $111,717 $103,542
Step 5
Divide your affordable mortgage amount by 1 minus the fractional portion of your down payment (e.g., 1 - 0.1 with a 10 percent down payment).
Enter down payment (%'age): 10.00% ÷ 0.90 0.90
Affordable home purchase price >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $124,130 $115,047
** Note: The two ratios lending institutions use (step 2) and other loan requirements are likely to vary based on a variety of factors, including the type of mortgage, the amount of the down payment, your income level, credit score, and current interest rates. If you have other debts, lenders will calculate both ratios and then use the one that allows you greater flexibility in borrowing.
