A safe ratio is the percentage of debt you are comfortable carrying
given your current income level. Usually around 15-20%, although most
Debt Managers allow you to put in what you want here and banks allow up
to 40%. The safe monthly payment is that percentage times your monthly
income i.e. 20% with an income of $3000 would give a monthly payment of
.20*3000 = 600.

Your Consumer Debt Manager is probably calculating that as a standard
then comparing your actual debt to income ratio and monthly payment
amount to the safe ratio. It should then indicate if you are within a
safe level or exceeding your safe level.

If you want to research the 'safe ratio' look for 'desirable debt to
income ratios' or something similar as that is what it really is.
