What is a debt-to-income ratio?

Debt-to-income ratio is what lenders use to determine if you are eligible for a loan. If you have too much debt relative to your income, you won’t get approved. It’s always a good idea to check your debt-to-income ratio before you apply for a loan to make sure you can get approved. If you maintain a debt-to-income ratio of 36% or less, then you can easily get approved for most new credit cards and loans.
