10 Debt-to-Income Ratio Debt-to-income ratio measures the amount of debt you have compared to how much money you make. 30% or less: This is the ideal level of debt. 30% to 40%: Still credit worthy. 41% to 49%: Hard to get credit at this level. 50% or more: GET HELP!!!

11 Calculate Debt-to-Income Ratio Debt: Monthly mortgage or rent ______ Minimum monthly credit card payments ______ Monthly car loan payment ______ Other obligations ______ Total monthly debt payments: ______ $850 $60 $190 $75 $1,175

12 Calculate Debt-to-Income Ratio Income: Monthly gross salary ______ Other monthly income ______ Total monthly income ______ Debt-to-Income Ratio: Total debt ______ divided by total income ______ = ______ $1,175 $2,950 $90 $3,040 38.65%
