Improving Your Debt-to-Income Ratio
In Q3 2024, Americans spent 11.3% of their disposable income on household debt payments (St. Louis Fed, 2024). Still, some households suffer massive debts, using over 50% of income to service debt. When your debt payments consume too much of your monthly income, lenders view you as a riskier borrower. This results in unfavorable loan terms, higher interest rates, or loan denials.
Understanding how to improve your debt-to-income ratio helps you qualify for better financing options. In simple terms, your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) computes the percentage of your income that goes toward paying debts each month. In this article, we’ll explain how to compute your DTI ratio, what is a good debt-to-income ratio, the best debt-to-income ratio for various loans and strategies for lowering it.
