I want to apply for auto loan with Navy Federal , been a member since Dec 2020 I earned $50k last year, looking at my bank statements i have no idea how to determine my debt to income ratio. How do I take the guess work out so I have a rough estimate on what I may qualify for. Im in the 702-722 Credit score range, this will be my first auto loan.
Simple DTI-
Housing/Mortgage Monthly Payment+
Installment Loans (Auto, Student loans, personal loans)+
CC Payments showing on credit report=
Monthly Debt Obligations
Dive that by your monthly income to come up with a percentage
That percentage is your DTI
Your bank statements shouldn't have anything to do with your DTI, unless that's what that lender uses to determine income. DTI is just the ratio of all your monthly payments, as shown on your credit report at the time that they pull it, plus what the payment on the loan you're applying for will be, plus your rent, if you have any, to your monthly income.
"CC Payments showing on credit report=
Monthly Debt Obligations"
What if I have a recent $10k card that hasn't posted yet?
Also new Discover card showing $4k with 0 balance but was never used since I didn't do Form 4506 since I wasn't in business for 2yrs. They emailed me few days ago they are closing that card. So I want to get the auto loan before that affects me. I started business last year so I felt I wasn't going to qualify so I didn't bother with the form altogether
When you say "recent $10k card", do you mean $10k balance or $10k limit? Either way it won't be visible for them to include in your DTI until it reports. Once it does, the number that will be included in your DTI will be the monthly payment as shown on your credit report. For a $10k balance this could be quite a bit. For a new card w/ a $10k limit, it will be the minimum payment for whatever balance posted at first reporting.
The Disco card w/ a $0 balance won't be included in DTI, since the minimum payment on $0 is $0.

It's real simple, if you don't owe money, then it isn't debt. If you have a line of credit with a limit of a million dollars and you don't owe anything on that line of credit, then the debt is zero.

self lender card $100 25%, $25 activation fee when I opened the card.
All other cards Are zero or haven't posted yet .

Whether AU cards will be counted will depend on the lender. For the NFCU and Self Lender cards, they will use the minimum payment for those cards that is shown on your credit report at the time that they pull it. You can check your ACRs yourself to see what they would be right now. For your student loans, b/c they're in deferment how their monthly payments will be calculated will also depend on the lender, but many use 1% of your total balance.

Ok thanks my minimum payment were $25 for Self and $18 for NFCU. Also my equifax went from 703 to 708 on NFCU fico. I applied for CLI on gorewards $3k like 20hrs ago. Still waiting
My aunt who I have authorized user cards with told me her UTI will increase on her cards because she had an emergency and she won't be able to pay them down to her usual UTI. Her scores are in the high 700s so she won't be affected that much. Her first card is due on 4/5.
So I'm thinking to go ahead with the Auto loan immediately before all that settles. Although I wanted to wait until after the CLI was finished. Does NF ask for Form 4506 ?

I don't know what NFCU uses for income verification on an auto loan, though I'd expect it would be paystubs. You can ask them before applying. The turnaround on a 4506T would be way too long to be practical; they'd lose the loan in the wait if they hadn't already lost it to the member not wanting to give EQ access to the their taxes.
