How is Total UTI calculated?

How is Total UTI calculated?  For example:

 

Card #1 has a $400 CL.  I pay it down to $36 which is 9%

Card # 2 has a $300 CL.  I pay it down to $27 which is 9%

 

Is total UTI calculated as 9% + 9% = 18%?

Or is UTI calculated as what percentage $63 (total balance) is of $700, so it would be 9%?  

 

Thanks!

Total utilization for you would be 9% ( Total balances of $63 divided by total credit limits of $700).

 

FICO also scores individual account utilization which in your example is also 9% for each account.
