Financial Calculator

The Financial Calculator plugin gives your visitors a loan and finance calculator that shows indicative repayments instantly, without a page reload. Add an optional application form and they can send a finance enquiry to you straight from the same page. It suits car dealers, brokers, lenders and any site that offers loans or finance.

There are two calculators, each with its own shortcode: a finance calculator for vehicle-style finance (price, deposit, trade-in, rate) and a loan calculator that offers a list of loan types and rates that you define.

Features

• Finance calculator: price, finance rate, deposit and trade-in allowance, with monthly payments shown for 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 months and the total cost of the credit
• Loan calculator: choose a loan type, enter the loan amount and the repayment period in years, and see weekly, fortnightly and monthly payments, total repayment and total interest
• Optional finance application form that is sent by email to the address you set
• Settings page for the default finance rate, application email address, currency code and symbol, and the list of loan types and rates
• Show or hide the application button
• Shortcode attributes to override the rate or fix the price
• Calculates in the browser, so results appear immediately

How to use

Add one of the shortcodes to a page or post:

[finance_calculator] [loan_calculator]

Override the default rate for one calculator, or fix the price:

[finance_calculator rate="9.9" price="16000"]

Use digits only in the price (16000, not 16,000). Then open the Finance Calculator settings page in the admin area to set the default rate, application email, currency and, for the loan calculator, the loan options in the format name|percentage,name|percentage , for example Motor Loan|7.9,Standard Loan|9 .
