Introducing a Credit Bureau-Based Measure of U.S. Household Debt Service
Abstract: Each quarter, the Board publishes an estimate of the ratio of aggregate required household debt service payments to income. The numerator of this Debt Service Ratio (DSR) is calculated using estimates of the outstanding balances of household debts in various product categories, their average interest rates, and times until maturity.
