What is credit utilization?

Credit utilization is the percentage of your available credit that you are using. It is calculated by dividing your total credit card balance by your total credit limit. It is one of the most important factors in your credit score.

What is a good credit utilization rate?

Below 30% is considered good, and below 10% is excellent. Most experts recommend keeping your utilization under 30% to avoid negatively impacting your credit score. Above 50% is generally considered poor.

How does credit utilization affect my credit score?

Credit utilization accounts for about 30% of your FICO score. Higher utilization suggests you may be overextended, which lowers your score. Paying down balances is one of the fastest ways to improve your score.

What is the 30% rule for credit cards?

The 30% rule recommends never using more than 30% of your total credit limit at any time. For example, if your total limit is $10,000, try to keep your balance below $3,000 for optimal credit health.
