Experts say to keep your rate under 30%. But people with the best credit scores have rates around 6% or less.

Snow warns that high utilization can seriously hurt your credit score, even tanking it 50 points or more!

"Your rate gives lenders a peek at how you handle debt. High usage looks risky, but low usage makes you look financially responsible," he says.

But here's the good news - there are clear steps you can take to calculate and improve your rate. Snow's advice includes:

• Paying down balances fast
• Opening balance transfer cards
• Asking for higher credit limits
• Spreading charges across multiple accounts
• Tracking spending habits

"Use these tips consistently to boost your utilization and financial health," says Snow. "When you understand your rate, you can build your credit and lending potential."
