Why Credit Card Utilization Ratio Matters? - The Credit Pros

from The Credit Pros Podcast · host The Credit Pros

The credit card utilization ratio is a key factor in your credit score, representing the percentage of your available credit that you're using. It's calculated by dividing your credit card balance by your credit limit and multiplying by 100. A high utilization ratio can suggest financial irresponsibility and can negatively impact your credit score, as it accounts for 30% of the score. To improve your credit score, pay down balances and seek to increase credit limits, thereby reducing the utilization ratio.
