Mortgage Advice > What is an Acceptable Debt-to-Income Ratio?
The acceptable debt to income ratio varies for loan type. Conventional is typically 45% but can go up to 50%. FHA has ratios that are 47% of your house payment (Housing Ratio) versus your income and 57% of your total debt (Total Debt Ratio) while VA does not set a maximum ratio as the loan has to be approved via automated underwriting.
