The Most Comprehensive & Professional TDS Knowledge
The TDS calculation formula depends on what TDS stands for: Total Debt Service (TDS) for loans uses (Total Monthly Debt / Gross Monthly Income) x 100, while Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in water is often calculated by multiplying Electrical Conductivity (EC) by a conversion factor (e.g., TDS ≈ EC x k) or by drying and weighing dissolved solids, and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) involves tax slabs and income.
1. Total Debt Service (TDS) Ratio (Finance)
This measures your ability to manage debt payments.
Formula: (Total Monthly Debt Payments / Gross Monthly Income) x 100.

2. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in Water (Chemistry/Environmental)
This measures all dissolved inorganic salts and orga...
