About this tool

Utilization is the second-biggest input to most credit scores — and the one you can move this month. Add a row for each card with its limit and current balance (up to eight cards) and see utilization per card and overall, color-zoned green under 10%, amber 10–30%, red above 30%. The pay-down calculators show the exact dollar amount to pay so your overall ratio lands at 30% or 10%, not a vague instruction to spend less. A short explainer covers statement balance versus current balance — bureaus usually see the statement figure — and why paying before the closing date matters more than paying by the due date. Scoring models vary by bureau and product, so treat the zones as planning guidance; the math itself runs entirely in your browser and your balances are never uploaded.
