How this is calculated

We compute your credit-utilization ratio per card and overall, and the paydown needed to hit a target — with an estimated score impact.

The steps

  1. Per card: utilization = balance ÷ limit. Overall = total balances ÷ total limits.
  2. For a target %, compute the paydown needed on each card, prioritizing the highest-utilization cards.
  3. Estimate the score change from lowering overall utilization (bigger effect when starting high).

Assumptions

  • Target utilization ~30% or lower; limits/balances you enter.

Good to know

  • Score impact is an estimate; reported balances depend on statement timing.
