  Key Concepts: 
  Total Debt Service Ratio (TDSR) is a financial metric used to measure an individual’s ability to manage their debt. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of debt payments (including mortgage payments, credit card payments, and other loan payments) by the individual’s gross monthly income. The higher the ratio, the more debt an individual has relative to their income. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP CRM-IFS Financial Services, TDSR is used to assess an individual’s creditworthiness. It is used to determine whether or not an individual can afford to take on additional debt and if they are likely to default on their existing debt. TDSR is also used to determine the maximum amount of loan that can be approved for an individual. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating TDSR, it is important to include all of an individual’s debt payments, including those that are not related to mortgages or loans. This includes payments for car loans, student loans, and other types of debt. Additionally, it is important to use the individual’s gross monthly income when calculating TDSR, as this will provide a more accurate assessment of their ability to manage their debt.
