What you want to know | Calculation step | The math | What the results mean |
---|---|---|---|
If my “front-end” DTI ratio is 28%, what monthly payment can I afford? | Multiply your monthly income by 28% | 6,250 x 0.28 = $1,750 | Your monthly mortgage payment, including taxes and insurance, shouldn't exceed $1,750. |
If my “back-end” DTI ratio is 36%, what monthly payment can I afford? | Multiply your monthly income by 36% | 6,250 x 0.36 = $2,250 | Your total monthly debt, including your mortgage payment, shouldn't exceed $2,250. |
A home equity loan is best if: | A HELOC is best if: |
---|---|
You want money in one lump sum | You want access to funds as needed |
You want a fixed interest rate | You’re OK with a variable rate |
You want a predictable monthly payment | You want to make payments only on the amount you use |
You need all the money immediately | You want the flexibility to access funds, pay them off and reuse them |
What’s the difference between open-end and closed-end credit? | |
---|---|
An open-end credit transaction is one that allows you to continuously borrow money up to a predetermined limit. You only have to repay what you borrow. | A closed-end credit transaction is one that provides a lump sum of money upfront. Then, you’ll repay that lump sum in installments over a certain period of time. |
Personal lines of credit, credit cards and HELOCs are examples of open-end credit. | Personal loans, auto loans and mortgages are examples of closed-end credit. |
Secured business loan | Unsecured business loan | |
---|---|---|
Loan terms | Collateral can allow for longer repayment terms | Typically short term due to increased risk for the lender |
Interest rate | Interest rates tend to be lower because of reduced lender risk | Interest rates tend to be higher for business loans without collateral |
Credit score | Lenders may be more lenient on credit scores with the additional security of collateral | Lenders tend to have high credit score minimums without collateral |
