DTI
Borrower's burden metric
DTI is an acronym with several meanings depending on context.
In government and business, it commonly stands for Department of Trade and Industry.
In personal finance, DTI means debt-to-income ratio—a measure lenders use to assess borrowing capacity: My DTI is too high to qualify for the mortgage.
In social media and fashion contexts, DTI has emerged as shorthand for "dress to impress," describing outfit-planning content or challenges.
