What is the FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator?

The FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator is the only credit simulation tool built using the same algorithms that power the FICO® Scores most commonly used in mortgage underwriting. It enables lenders to test “what-if” scenarios and forecast how actions like paying down debt or removing collections may affect a borrower’s score.

Common simulation scenarios include:

  • Paying down or paying off balances

  • Deleting third-party collections

  • Upgrading derogatory tradelines to “paid”

  • Improving delinquent accounts

  • Removing account disputes

  • Simulating the passage of time

Upcoming features will support additional scenarios, such as removing historical delinquencies and adjusting account balances—expanding the insights available to your team and your borrowers.
