Back End Ratio

Also known as the debt ratio, lenders use this ratio, along with the front-end ratio, to determine the maximum loan amount. Debt ratio equals your combined monthly mortgage payment plus any other monthly debt obligations, such as credit cards and alimony, divided by your gross monthly income. Use a back-end ratio of 33% for conservative results and as high as 42% for aggressive results (usually requires excellent credit and a higher down payment).

Front End Ratio

Also known as the housing ratio, lenders use this ratio along with the back-end ratio to determine the maximum loan amount. The housing ratio equals the combined (principal + interest + taxes + insurance) monthly mortgage payment divided by your gross monthly income. For example, a combined monthly mortgage payment of $1,200 divided by gross monthly income of $4,500 equals a housing ratio of 27%. Use a front-end ratio of 28% for conservative results and as high as 36% for aggressive results (usually requires excellent credit and a higher down payment).

RMD Calculations

Note: for the Current Year RMD calculations, the beneficiary's date of birth impacta the calculation only if the beneficiary is the spouse. In situations where there are multiple beneficiaries on the account, use the birthdate of th eldest beneficiary. This follows IRS rules that treat the oldest beneficiary's life expectancy as the basis for RMDs unless separate accounts have been established for each beneficiary by the end of the year following the owner's death.
