Understanding credit scores

Your credit score is a three-digit number that represents how trustworthy you are with borrowed money. It typically ranges from 300 to 850, with higher scores indicating better credit health.

This simulator helps you understand the five main factors that influence your credit score and how different behaviors impact each factor. While this is an educational model and not your actual credit score, it accurately reflects the principles used by major credit scoring models like FICO and VantageScore.
