Frequently Asked Questions
How is my borrowing power calculated?
Your borrowing power estimate is based on your income, existing debt obligations, credit score range, and loan purpose. We use standard debt-to-income ratios used by lenders to estimate how much you could qualify for. This is an educational estimate, not a pre-approval.
Is the Borrowing Power Quiz free?
Yes, the quiz is completely free and requires no personal information beyond the 5 multiple-choice questions. We never ask for your Social Security number, and the quiz does not affect your credit score.
Does this quiz affect my credit score?
No. This quiz is purely educational and does not perform any credit checks. No information is sent to credit bureaus. Your credit score is not affected in any way.
What should I do after getting my results?
Review the matched lenders we recommend. Many offer free consultations or pre-qualification checks that won't affect your credit. If your score needs work, check out our credit repair guides first — improving your score by even 50 points can unlock significantly better rates.
