Qualifying ratios

As calculated by lenders, the percentage of income that is spent on housing debt and combined household debt. The first qualifying ratio, called the front ratio, is the percentage of monthly before-tax income that goes toward a house payment. The back ratio is the sum of the house payment and all other monthly debt -- credit cards, car payments, student loans and the like -- divided by before-tax income.
