Is this my credit score?

No. Utilization is one of several factors scoring models may weigh. This calculator does not produce a score and does not predict a score change.

Which accounts should I include?

Revolving accounts — typically credit cards and lines of credit, where the balance can go up and down up to a limit. Installment loans, like a car loan, work differently and are not included here.

What utilization should I aim for?

There is no single number that works for everyone, and no percentage guarantees an outcome. Generally, using a smaller share of your available credit is viewed more favorably than using most of it.

Will paying down my balances raise my score?

It may change your utilization, which some models weigh — but outcomes vary by person and by scoring model, so no tool can promise a specific result.
