The housing payment ratio (or Front Ratio) compares your total mortgage payment to your monthly income. The total debt expense (or Back Ratio) compares your total monthly obligations including your total mortgage payment to your monthly income. These ratios are meant to be used as guides.

Please consult your tax advisor for information on the deductibility of interest for tax purpose. Refinancing or taking out a home equity loan or line of credit may increase the total number of monthly payments and the total amount paid when comparing to your current situation.
