Available Credit
Available credit is the amount of credit available to a person on their credit card or overall on all their credit cards. The available credit is calculated by subtracting the outstanding balance on the card from the overall credit amount. The total amount of available credit may affect a person's chances of receiving a new credit card as a range of credit cards adding up to a large amount of available credit can be a risky in regards of getting into debt. Generally the more credit available, the more a person can spend and this is taken into consideration when applying for a credit card.

The available credit on a single card is the amount that a person can make purchases on without the card being refused. For example, many types of business such as hotels and restaurants put an estimated bill amount on their customer's credit cards called blocking. This amount is then taken off the amount of available credit and ensures that the payment can in fact be made. If there is not enough available credit left on the card, then the card will be refused.
