How do I find my debt-to-income ratio?

A debt-to-income ratio compares the amount of debt you have to your overall income. Lenders, including issuers of mortgages and other financial institutions, use your debt-to-income ratio as a way to measure your eligibility for credit based on your perceived ability to manage repayments.To find debt-to-income ratio (DTI) you need to add up your total credit or debt balances and divide it by your total gross annual income.
