Formula Explanation

Credit Score Factors

Credit scores are calculated using multiple factors: Payment history (35%), Credit utilization (30%), Credit age (15%), Credit mix (10%), and Recent inquiries (10%). This estimator uses simplified scoring based on these factors.

Tips

  • Payment history is the most important factor - always pay on time.

  • Keep credit utilization below 30% for best scores.

  • Older credit accounts improve your credit age.

  • Having a mix of credit types (credit cards, loans, mortgage) helps.

  • Limit credit inquiries - too many can hurt your score.

  • This is an estimate - actual scores may vary.
