Formula and methodology

Debt-to-income ratio = total recurring monthly debt payments ÷ gross monthly income × 100.

Uses standard financial arithmetic with editable rates and terms. Tax, bank and product-specific rules require current official confirmation.

Worked calculation example

PKR 55,000 in monthly debt payments divided by PKR 200,000 gross income gives a 27.5% debt-to-income ratio.

How to interpret your result

Use DTI to understand how much gross income is already committed to debt; lenders may use different inclusions and thresholds.

Input guide

1

Use gross monthly income consistently.

2

Include required monthly debt payments, not total balances.

3

Keep housing and co-borrower treatment consistent with the lender's method.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Dividing total debt balance by monthly income.

  • Treating one generic threshold as automatic approval.
How to verify this result

Ask the lender which obligations and income documents it uses.

What can affect the result?

Gross versus net

Lenders commonly compare debt with gross income, while household affordability depends on take-home pay.

Variable payments

Floating-rate financing may increase the future monthly obligation.

Unlisted commitments

Rent, utilities and dependants affect affordability even when excluded from DTI.

Limits of this estimate

The ratio is informational and cannot predict approval, credit assessment, repayment capacity or a lender's chosen definition of income and debt.
