Debt Service

Total cash payments due on outstanding loans covering interest charges and principal due. Your debt service is the amount of money you have to pay each period (month/year) to make your loan payments. Debt Service is usually comprised of the total amount of credit card, auto, mortgage or other debt upon which you must pay. When a company or individual is “overextended”, it often means they cannot afford to service their debt.
