Key Credit Score Factors
Payment history (35%) โ The biggest factor. Even one missed payment can hurt significantly.
Credit utilization (30%) โ Keep balances below 30% of your limit; under 10% is ideal.
Length of history (15%) โ Older accounts and older average age help your score.
Credit mix (10%) โ A healthy mix of cards, installment loans, and mortgages helps.
New credit (10%) โ Each application causes a small, temporary dip from the hard inquiry.
Educational estimates only. Real models may weigh many variables differently. Not a FICOยฎ/VantageScoreยฎ tool.
