Your credit score is impacted by

  • Payment history (35%) – Making on-time payments boosts your score, while late or missed payments hurt it.
  • Credit utilization (30%) – Using too much of your available credit can lower your score; keeping usage below 30% is ideal.
  • Length of credit history (15%) – A longer credit history generally improves your score.
  • Credit mix (10%) – Having different types of credit (credit cards, loans, mortgages) can help.
  • New credit inquiries (10%) – Applying for too much new credit in a short time can negatively impact your score.
