The debt-burden ratio (DBR) is the percentage of your monthly income that goes toward debt obligations - loans, credit card minimum payments, and other regular financial commitments. UAE banks generally cap this at 50%, meaning your total monthly debt payments, including any new loan or mortgage being applied for, can't exceed half of your monthly income. This is assessed across all existing obligations combined, not just the new product being applied for.
