The formula credit bureaus use for computing credit score is closely guarded and nobody actually knows much about it. Most of the information on the web relating to credit score computation by bureaus is only an assumption and nobody can say for sure that there assumption is correct.

The model most commonly used as a basis to compute credit scores was developed by Fair Isaac Corporation (known as FICO score).

Credit score is calculated by giving weightage to various types of information appearing on your report;

Payment History - 35%:

Amounts Owed - 30%:

Length of Credit History - 15%:

New Credit - 10%

Types of Credit Used - 10%
