Purchase: Credit Score Calculator

This calculator provides you with an indication of your credit score. It is a general guide and does not provide your credit score nor an indication of the contents of your credit report.

Assumptions:

The calculator is based on the information provided by the user, and does not relate to the information on the user's credit report. The calculator uses metrics from Equifax, Get Credit Score, and Experian in order to weight the information provided by the user to calculate an indicated credit score.

The calculator assumes that each of the answers provided by the user represents a credit score range of between below average to excellent, and collates those answers into an estimated credit score based on the weighting used by the calculator.

What is a Credit Score?

To simply put it, a credit score is a numerical representation of your trustworthiness as a borrower. Banks and lending companies sometimes use this as a gauge if you're a reliable borrower and capable of paying back your debts.

Your credit score also has a significant impact on certain factors such as how much money lenders are willing to lend you, your loan interest rates, your credit card limit, and whether you will be approved for a loan or not.

Things like high credit card debts, a number of failed credit applications and bankruptcy declaration can negatively impact your credit score and will make it harder for you to get approved for a loan.

On the other hand consistent and on-time loan repayments, and not borrowing beyond your capacity positively impacts your credit score and can help to further improve it.

How is Credit Score Calculated?

Credit scores are calculated based on the information on your credit report. Your score will be between 0 to 1,000 or 0 to 1,200 - this depends on your credit reporting agency.

Your score will be based on the factors relating to your credit such as:

your credit history pattern, such as your loan applications that may have failed previously
the amount of money you've borrowed
your repayment performance - whether you are meeting the scheduled repayment time or not
your credit profile characteristics such as the age of your credit history
personal information such as such as age, length of employment, and length of time at your current address
