Charge-Off Rate

The credit card charge-off rate is a measure that shows the percentage of defaulted credit card balances in comparison to the total amount of credit outstanding. Credit card companies track credit card charge-off rates to monitor the performance of their credit card loans. Across the industry, a credit charge-off rate can also be calculated comprehensibly to show the total percentage of credit card balances in default.
