U5 5.1 How's My CreditUnit 5: Worksheet 1: How's My
Credit?This worksheet will help you to determine your debt
safety ratios. It indicates the amount of debt you have compared
to your income. The debt safety ratio will indicate the
percentage of your monthly income that is attributed to debt
(what you owe). When completing this worksheet, you will use
your monthly income and your total monthly debt to calculate
your debt ratio.
Steps:
-Enter your monthly loan payments and take home pay.
-The debt safety ratio will automatically calculated by taking
your total monthly payments and dividing it by your total
monthly take home pay. That amount will be multiplied by 100.
We use 100 because we are looking for a percentage.
- Example: $1500 (total Monthly payments / $4,500 (monthly
take-home pay) x 100 = 33.33% this will be your debt ratio.
- This example indicates that you spend 33% of your income for
debt each month.
If you want to lower your debt follow these steps:
- Determine the rate you would like your debt ratio to be.
- If you want this calculated on your current income use that
figure then multiply this amount by the new target debt ratio.
23. This will give you the new monthly amount you must pay to
reduce your ratio.
**Note: The final figure will tell you how much you will need
to pay additionally on your debt each month to achieve your
desired debt ratio.Monthly Consumer Loan Payments & Debt
