How Lenders Calculate Affordability

Front-End Ratio (28% rule)

Your monthly housing costs (PITI) should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. Example: $6,000/month income × 28% = $1,680 max PITI.

Back-End Ratio (36–43% rule)

All monthly debt payments (housing + car + student loans + credit cards) should not exceed 36–43% of gross income. FHA allows up to 57%.
