Debt-to-Income
Ratios and Car Payments
When determining your ability to qualify for a mortgage,
a lender looks at what is called your "debt-to-income"
ratio. A debt-to-income ratio is the percentage of your
gross monthly income (before taxes) that you spend on
debt. This will include your monthly housing costs,
including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and
homeowners association fees, if any. It will also
include your monthly consumer debt, including credit
cards, student loans, installment debt, and
.
car payments.
