Front-End Ratio. A ratio of an individual's monthly mortgage expenses to his/her monthly income.

Mortgage lenders often use front-end ratios to determine whether an individual has sufficient income in order to qualify for a mortgage.
A loss ratio is a ratio of losses to gains, used normally in a financial context. It is the opposite of the gross profit ratio (commonly known as the gross profit margin). For insurance, the loss ratio is the ratio of total losses incurred (paid and reserved) in claims plus adjustment expenses divided by the total premiums earned.
