This component of your credit is second only to payment history in importance for your <u>FICO score<\/u> (weighing in at 30 percent) and it\u2019s also considered \u201chighly influential\u201d for your <u>VantageScore<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>But what is considered a \u201cgood\u201d credit utilization ratio? Here\u2019s what this key scoring factor means and some tips on how to get your credit utilization in the best possible range for your credit.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what\" data-position=\"1\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-1-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"What is credit utilization \u2014 and what\u2019s considered \u201cgood\u201d?\" data-outcome=\"\">What is credit utilization \u2014 and what\u2019s considered \u201cgood\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p>Credit utilization is how much you owe across all lines of credit you currently hold compared to your total credit limit. If you divide the amount you owe on a credit card by its credit limit, you will get your utilization ratio.<\/p>\n<p>For example, spending $500 on a credit card with a $5,000 credit limit equals a 10 percent utilization rate (500 divided by 5,000 equals 0.10, or 10 percent). This is the percentage of credit used of the total amount of credit offered by your credit card company.<\/p>\n<p>Most expert sources recommend keeping your credit utilization ratio below 30 percent of your available credit limits for the best results. For example, Experian, one of the three major credit bureaus, says the following about utilization:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile there\u2019s no specific point when your utilization rate goes from good to bad, 30% is the point at which it starts to have a more pronounced negative effect on your credit score.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, many individuals with <u>excellent credit scores<\/u> show utilization in the single digits, or even close to zero. This goes to show that having a low utilization is good, but it can fall within any range below 30 percent and still be a boon to your score.<\/p>\n<section class=\"editorial-insight-box --insight-box +mg-vertical-md\" data-template=\"insight_box\">\n<div class=\"card-body border-l-4 border-blue-800\">\n<div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n<p>\n                    Bankrate&#8217;s word of advice\n                <\/p>\n<div class=\"content wysiwyg wysiwyg--flush\">\n<p>Credit utilizations can also vary widely from month-to-month \u2014 the score you get today can be different tomorrow based on what has hit your credit report in the meantime. If you make a large purchase but pay it off fairly quickly, your utilization will go down once that payment hits your credit report.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2 id=\"high\" data-position=\"2\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-2-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Why is high credit utilization bad?\" data-outcome=\"\">Why is high credit utilization bad?<\/h2>\n<p>A high credit utilization typically means you are close to <u>maxing out your credit cards<\/u>, and that signals a red flag to lenders. FICO lays this point out <u>clearly on its website<\/u>, saying that \u201cif you are using a lot of your available credit, this may indicate that you are overextended \u2014 and banks can interpret this to mean that you are at a higher risk of defaulting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side of that, you can show credit bureaus and lenders you\u2019re responsible with credit by keeping your debt and utilization low. Of course, this is in addition to other steps you can take to improve your credit, like paying all your bills on time and using different types of credit to improve your credit mix. If you\u2019re having trouble paying down your debt, a debt consolidation loan or balance transfer card might help you pay it down.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"improve\" data-position=\"3\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-3-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"How can I improve my credit utilization ratio?\" data-outcome=\"\">How can I improve my credit utilization ratio?<\/h2>\n<p>The primary way to improve your credit utilization ratio is to pay down your bills on time and as much as possible. While this sounds simple, it\u2019s not always easy, depending on your income and <u>how much debt you\u2019ve accrued<\/u> on your cards.<\/p>\n<p>Also, once you pay off a card, don\u2019t close it unless you have a good reason to do so. Having a surplus of available credit can help you keep your utilization ratio low, and the card also contributes to your credit history, which makes up 15 percent of your credit score. You may need to use the card occasionally to keep from having it closed, but that is fairly easy to do by using it for purchases you already plan to make (like groceries or gas).<\/p>\n<p>You can also <u>apply for new credit<\/u>, which will improve your ratio if granted. However, you shouldn\u2019t apply for a new credit card if you don\u2019t have a need for it, since a hard inquiry will lead to a temporary hit on your credit score.<\/p>\n<h2 data-position=\"4\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-4-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"The bottom line\" data-outcome=\"\">The bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to your credit, the <u>benefits of higher scores<\/u> can equal better rates for your next big purchase, lower mortgage rates and other preferential treatment. Fortunately, you can get your credit score where you want it to be with some simple steps like paying all your bills on time and keeping your credit utilization ratio below 30 percent.<\/p>\n<p>As long as you\u2019re using credit responsibly and carefully, your score will naturally improve into a range that improves your finances for the long haul.<\/p>\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA mx-auto flex flex-col items-center gap-6 my-6 py-12 text-base border-y border-gray-200\" data-helpful-cta=\"\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" id=\"did-you-find-this-helpful\" data-type=\"cta\" data-location=\"article-bottom\" data-position=\"banner\" data-text=\"Did you find this page helpful?\">\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA-initial w-full flex flex-col items-center gap-4\" data-cta-initial=\"\">\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA-question text-lg font-bold text-center text-gray-900\">\n            Did you find this page helpful?<\/p>\n<div id=\"Xm48tnMIdP\" class=\"hidden\">\n<div class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg--sm wysiwyg--flush max-w-xs\">\n<p class=\"mb-6 text-base\">\n                            <strong class=\"block font-bold text-gray-900\">Why we ask for feedback<\/strong><br \/>\n                            Your feedback helps us improve our content and services.
