A utilization ratio is the amount of your credit limit that you're using. So, if you have a credit card with a $1,000 limit, and you spend $500 in a month, your utilization ratio would be 50%. Utilization ratios are important because they make up 30% of your FICO score—which is the most commonly used credit score.
