FICO 08 is quickly becoming the new formula for computing credit scores in the U.S. "The credit scoring formula has been periodically updated over the past 20 years, with changes in technology.

Most of the public is under the belief that credit scores are based only on a person's prior payment history for debt. However, a FICO score only apportions 35 percent of a person's credit score to payment history, while the second highest factor of 30 percent is related to a person's "debt utilization," which is indirectly based upon a person's annual income.
