Calculate Your Debt to Income Ratio


What is a Debt to Income Ratio?
A debt to income ratio shows how much of your income is used up paying off your debt. The ratio is displayed as a percentage and the lower the percentage the better. 
A debt to income ratio of 10% means that you spend just 10% of your income paying off your debts and have the remaining 90% to spend as you wish. If you have a debt to income ratio of 80%, then this means that you only have 20% of your income freed up every month.
