• GDS = (PITH + 50% condo fee) / Gross Monthly Income — max 39%
• TDS = (PITH + 50% condo fee + all other debts) / Gross Monthly Income — max 44%
• PITH = Principal + Interest (at qualifying rate) + Property Tax + Heat ($150/month default)
• Qualifying rate = max(contract rate + 2.00%, OSFI minimum qualifying rate)

United States — DTI Ratios

• Front-end DTI = (PITI + HOA) / Gross Monthly Income — conventional max 28%, FHA max 31%
• Back-end DTI = (PITI + HOA + all debts) / Gross Monthly Income — conventional max 36-45%, FHA max 43-57%
• PITI = Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance

Mortgage Insurance (Canada — LTV above 80%)
