Your debt-to-income ratio, or DTI, is a calculation of how your monthly debt compares to your monthly income. It's a simple calculation of monthly debt divided by your monthly income, described as a percentage. Lenders look at your DTI and judge whether or not you will be able to repay your debts each month. You want to have the lowest debt-to-income ratio possible in order to qualify for mortgages, loans, and other financing. Here are a few suggestions to lower a high debt-to-income ratio.

STEP 1:

Lower your expenses. The other option for lowering a high debt-to-income ratio is to lower your expenses. Even fixed expenses can be considered. Start by looking at your budget. Do you stick to it? Or are you spending more than you should be each month? Can you do without the ultimate digital cable TV package? And what about lowering your cell phone package? Look at your rent and determine whether it can be lowered by moving somewhere else. And also consider trading in your car for one with lower payments. The other side of lowering your expenses is simply just not spending as much. Start using coupons. Shop the sales. And don't buy what you don't need. You'll be surprised at how quickly your personal savings will increase, and your debt-to-income ratio will decrease.

STEP 2:

Pay off your debts. If you can get rid of some of your debt, you will lower your high debt-to-income ratio. Devote yourself to getting out of credit card debt, above all else. Stop wasting your money paying interest each month when that money could be better used in other places. The fewer debts you have, the lower your debt-to-income ratio will be.

STEP 3:

Hold off on big purchases. When lenders are considering offering your financing, your debt-to-income ratio plays a big role in their decisions. You can increase your chances of getting financing by not committing to any further debts until you have been approved. Don't buy a new car until you're approved for the mortgage. And don't purchase that new big screen TV until you've been approved for the car loan. Remember that banks are going to consider everything that you owe at that very moment, so don't increase that number before you apply for financing. Make your financial situation seem as ideal as possible by keeping your debts low. Your debt-to-income ratio will stay lower this way.
