Credit score simulator
This simulator illustrates directional changes for planning and helps you compare safer next steps before applying. It does not pull your credit file and is not a FICO or VantageScore from Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion. For how scoring models actually work, see the CFPB’s explainer on credit scores (consumerfinance.gov).
