FHA Debt to Income Ratios

According to FHA guidelines, borrowers and / or their spouse must qualify according to set debt ratios which are used to determine whether the borrower can reasonable be expected to meet the expenses involved with home ownership. There are two ratios.

Add up the total mortgage payment (principal and interest, escrow deposits for taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance premium, homeowners' dues, etc.). Then, take that amount and divide it by the gross monthly income. The maximum ratio to qualify is 29%.

Total amount of new house payment: $650.00
Borrower's gross monthly income (including spouse, if married): $2,400.00
Divide total house payment by gross monthly income: $650.00/$2,400.00
