Plan a path toward 30% utilization in Canada
Enter one card balance, its credit limit, and a planned payment amount. The calculator estimates how much must be paid—and how many equal payment cycles it could take—to reach 30% utilization.
Estimated path
Current utilization
Balance at 30%
Payment needed to reach 30%
Equal payment cycles
What this estimate assumes
- No new purchases, interest, fees, limit changes, or other balance adjustments.
- Your payment is applied entirely to the balance entered.
- Thirty percent is a planning threshold, not a promise of a particular credit score or lending outcome.
Real statements can change between cycles. Check your card agreement and latest statement before making a decision. For general guidance, see the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada guidance on improving credit.
