DSTI (debt service to income)

A ratio showing what share of your monthly net income goes on the instalments of all your loans and credit. The bank uses it to assess whether you can afford a new commitment.

Banks set DSTI limits in their own rules, within the limits of KNF recommendations. Commitments also include credit card and overdraft limits, even if you don't use them.
