You can use this debt ratio calculator to figure out if you might be at risk of being denied a loan. In general, lenders apply certain rules when evaluating someone that has applied for credit. In the mortgage industry, they use a rule of 32, which states that the total of all your monthly debt payments cannot exceed 32% of your monthly income. When debt ratios approach 40%, the chances of being denied credit or a loan are high.
