How to Calculate Beacon Score

Your beacon score, or credit score, is crucial to making any type of large purchases or getting a credit card. Missing payments is one of the ways credit scores often plummet. Beacon scores are calculated using a number of different factors. Your score will range from 300 to 850, with 850 being the best. Most people are happy with a score of 600 or higher.
