FHA Debt-to-Income Ratios
The FHA doesn't want anyone to commit to a loan he or she can't manage.
According to FHA guidelines, borrowers and / or their spouse must qualify according to set debt
ratios which determine whether the borrower can reasonably meet the expenses involved with home ownership.

To help define your loan limits, FHA has determined that typically, your FHA mortgage and other housing costs
should not exceed 29 percent of your gross monthly income. To determine this percentage, take into
consideration the cost of your FHA mortgage along with other housing costs like property taxes and
insurance.
FHA guidelines require that borrowers and/or their spouse qualify according to set debt to income ratios.
These ratios effectively calculate the financial position that would allow you to meet the financial demands of
owning a particular home.
These indicators do not exclusively determine whether or not a candidate will qualify for an FHA loan. Other
factors will be considered, including credit history and job stability.
