Front-End Debt-To-Income Ratio (DTI) Definition

The front-end debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is a variation of the debt-to-income ratio (DTI) that calculates how much of a person’s gross income is going toward housing costs. If a homeowner has a mortgage, the front-end DTI ratio is usually calculated as housing expenses (such as mortgage payments, mortgage insurance, etc.) divided by gross income. In contrast, a back-end DTI calculates the percentage of gross income going toward other types of debt like credit cards or car loans.
