Are you spending too much?
By knowing your Expense-to-Salary Ratio (ESR) you can find out how your monthly payments impact your salary.
The ESR is part of your Credit Report. It shows how much of your last reported salary goes to your loans, bills, credit card and other monthly payments. A lower ESR means you have more opportunities to borrow, save or invest.
