Different credit scoring models calculate credit scores based on a variety of factors. Mint utilizes the VantageScore model, which measures credit on a scale ranging from 300 to 850. Your VantageScore is determined by six different factors: payment history, age and types of credit, credit utilization, total balances and debt, recent credit inquiries, and available credit.

There’s no single way to define a good credit score or bad credit score. However, VantageScore does provide guidance on the quality of VantageScore 3.0 score ranges, grading them on a scale of A to F:

  • Grade A: 781 - 850
  • Grade B: 720 - 780
  • Grade C: 658 - 719
  • Grade D: 601 - 657
  • Grade F: 300 - 600
