Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a good FICO score?
- A FICO score of 670 or above is considered Good. Scores between 740 and 799 are Very Good, and 800 to 850 is Exceptional. The U.S. average FICO score has been in the 714-717 range in recent years, according to Experian data.
- What is the FICO score range?
- FICO scores range from 300 to 850. The five categories are Poor (300-579), Fair (580-669), Good (670-739), Very Good (740-799), and Exceptional (800-850).
- Does this tool check my actual FICO score?
- No. This tool does not pull your credit report or check your score. You enter a score you already know (from your bank, credit card issuer, or myFICO.com) and the tool shows you where that score falls in the FICO range categories.
- Where can I get my real FICO score?
- Many banks and credit card issuers provide free FICO scores to cardholders. You can also purchase your official FICO scores from myFICO.com. The free scores on Credit Karma and similar sites are typically VantageScores, not FICO scores.
- How often does my FICO score change?
- Your FICO score can change every time new information is reported to the credit bureaus, which can happen as frequently as every 30 to 45 days when your creditors send updates. A single action like paying down a credit card balance can change your score within one billing cycle.
