How to use the debt-to-income calculator

  1. Enter all the debt you have — mortgage, car loan, consumer loans, credit cards and student loans.
  2. Enter gross annual income (before tax).
  3. The calculator shows your debt-to-income ratio and whether it's within Norwegian banks' statutory limit.

How the debt-to-income ratio is calculated

Debt-to-income ratio is the relationship between all your debt and gross annual income:

Debt-to-income ratio = Total debt ÷ Gross annual income

Norway's lending regulation requires that banks normally don't lend you money that would make your total debt exceed 5 times your gross annual income. This applies to all debt — not just the new loan you're applying for — and is one of the most common reasons mortgage applications are rejected, even when the down payment is sufficient.

Note: Banks have a limited "flexibility quota" that lets them deviate from the limits in a small number of cases per year. This calculator shows the general rule, not the exceptions — the actual loan outcome is always decided by the bank. This calculator applies to Norwegian lending regulations only.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as debt in the debt-to-income ratio?

All debt you have with every lender: mortgage, car loan, consumer loans, credit card debt and student loans. The bank looks this up itself via Norway's debt register, so it's important to count everything, not just the new loan.

What happens if my debt-to-income ratio is above 5×?

The bank normally can't lend you more, even if you have enough down payment and ability to service the loan. Some banks have a small flexibility quota they can use in individual cases, but it's not something you can expect to get.

Is debt-to-income ratio the same as loan-to-value ratio?

No. Loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is the loan amount relative to the property's value. Debt-to-income ratio is all your debt relative to your income. The mortgage calculator shows loan-to-value ratio, this calculator shows debt-to-income ratio.
