What You Calculate
Canada — GDS/TDS Ratios
- 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%)
- 80.01-85.00% LTV: 2.80% premium
- 85.01-90.00% LTV: 3.10% premium
- 90.01-95.00% LTV: 4.00% premium
- Premium is added to mortgage amount and amortized
