The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) recently updated how credit scores are calculated for conventional loans - a change designed to benefit borrowers. However, understanding how these revised scores are determined can be confusing.

Typically, a borrower has three credit scores—one each from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

When two borrowers apply together, the question becomes: Which score is used? That's where this calculator helps simplify the process.

Example:

Borrower 1: Scores: 590, 605, 648 → Median = 605

Borrower 2: Scores: 661, 693, 693 → Median = 693

Average of medians: (605 + 693) ÷ 2 = 649

For FHA loans, lenders use the representative credit score (the lower median score). For Fannie Mae conventional loans, they now use the average credit score - giving many borrowers a fairer chance at qualifying.
