Monthly income (annual income divided by 12) $16,000 b. Times 0.28: Percentage of PITI (Principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) to your monthly gross income that lenders will lend in the form of a mortgage loan (multiply line a by 0.28) x 0.28 = $4,480 c.

Monthly income (annual income divided by 12) f. Times 0.36: Percentage of PITI + current monthly fixed payments to your monthly gross income that lenders will lend in the form of a mortgage loan (multiply line a by 0.36) x 0.36 = $0 g. Less: Current nonmortgage debt payments on debt that will take over 10 months to pay off and other monthly legal obligations such as child support and alimony payments - h.
