Hi Bill,

Debt to income ratio shows what percentage of your income you can spend on mortgage payments after all other expenses are met.

One example for you to give a clear idea;

Suppose your gross income (yearly) is $60,000 or $5,000 monthly and debt payments are about $1,500, then debt to income ratio is 30% ($1,500 / $5,000 = .3 x 100). The lower the percentage it is considered the better.
