Re: How is DTI calculated? DTI and LTI - What's the difference?
Posted: Tue Sep 17, 2019 8:22 pm
Hello Anwar. Welcome to the forums.
Debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is a borrower’s total debt divided by their total income.
DTI ratio is calculated as follows: total debt (including the new loan limit) / total income = DTI ratio
For example, 400,000/ 80,000 = The DTI ratio is 5.
A DTI ratio of six or higher is considered higher risk and your application will be declined or scrutinised closely.
The DTI ratio gives a clear understanding of a borrower’s complete financial picture whereas, a loan-to-income ratio (LTI) assesses a customer’s ability to manage their home loan only.
LTI is calculated as the total home loan requested in the application divided by their gross (before tax) annual income.
For example, if you were looking for a $200,000 loan with a $50,000 income, the LTI ratio will be 4. Both metrics play a role in a bank’s assessment of your loan application.
