Gross Income Calculation...W2, Paycheck, or Both?

[twoaklawn]

I see where lenders usually require two paycheck stubs and also two years W-2 forms.  As far as DTI calculations are concerned, are the paycheck stubs solely used for that?  Are the W-2 forms required to verify income stability?  I've been with the same job for 11 years so that is not a problem, and luckily I've had a couple of promotions over the last two years that have bumped up my income 20% over that time period.  My DTI back end ratio is the weakest part of my situation, so the gross income is an important part of that for me.

They'll use your current salary base, but average any overtime or bonuses over the two year period off the w2's.

Thank you for clarifying deemac.  I do not receive overtime or bonuses, so I should be good.  thanks!
