Does the 36% debt-to-income ratio include ONLY our student loans, credit card, and car loans?

Question by aggiesgirl09: Does the 36% debt-to-income ratio include ONLY our student loans, credit card, and car loans?
We are first-time home buyers, so we have no current mortgage? I’m getting mixed answers about whether this 36% of monthly income would include the potential mortgage. Please help.

My understanding is that it will include the mortgage payment as well as all your other debts.
