Score range

Credit scores & reports
The minimum and maximum numbers used by a credit agency to calculate scores.

Overview

Each agency uses its own range, such as 0 to 999 or 0 to 710.

Because ranges differ, scores are not directly comparable across agencies.

Why it matters

  • It explains why your scores can look different between agencies.
  • It helps you understand where you sit within a scale.
  • It sets context for credit bands and labels.

FAQs

Can I compare my Experian and TransUnion scores?

Not directly, because the ranges and scoring models are different.

Do lenders see the same range I see?

Lenders usually see the agency data but may also apply their own models.
