How Lenders Decide

Banks typically use the 28/36 Rule to determine your loan eligibility.

  • 28% (Front-End Ratio): Your monthly housing costs (Mortgage, Tax, Insurance) should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income.
  • 36% (Back-End Ratio): Your total monthly debt payments (Housing + Cars + Credit Cards) should not exceed 36% of your gross monthly income.

If your other debts are high, your home budget will be lower to stay under the 36% total limit.
