It calculates your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio — the share of your gross monthly income that goes to debt payments — which lenders use to judge how much mortgage you can carry.
Debt-to-Income in Florida
With no state income tax in Florida, your gross and net pay are closer together than in many states, but lenders still qualify you on gross income. Keep in mind that Florida's higher insurance and HOA costs raise the housing side of the ratio, so the same salary supports a slightly smaller loan than it would in a low-insurance market.
The calculator adds up your monthly debt obligations, including the proposed mortgage payment, and divides that total by your gross monthly income. It often shows both the front-end ratio (housing only) and the back-end ratio (all debts), since lenders look at both.

Frequently Asked Questions
What DTI do I need to qualify?
Many conventional loans target a back-end ratio of 43% or less, but some programs and automated approvals allow higher with reserves or a strong credit profile. FHA loans are often more flexible.
Does rent count in my DTI?
Your current rent is not counted once you take on a mortgage, because the new housing payment replaces it. The calculator uses the proposed mortgage payment, not your existing rent.
