Most credit scores range from 300 to 850, with higher scores deemed better than lower scores. What is considered fair credit depends on the credit bureau. Fair FICO credit scores fall between 580 to 669, while fair VantageScore credit scores range from 600 to 660. This is slightly higher than a bad credit score, which is typically anything 579 and below (FICO) or 499 and below (VantageScore).
