    Most home loan programs have ratio guidelines based on your Principal and Interest payment, Taxes and Insurance (PITI). They take your loan payment, property taxes, hazard insurance* and association dues and divide it by your gross income. This normally should not exceed 28%. Add in your other monthly payments such as credit cards and car loans and that ratio should not exceed 36%. There is some flexibility, but 28/36 is the normal ratio.
