This plugin adds any of the 18 free calculators from [MortgageCalculator.me](https://mortgagecalculator.me) to a post, page or sidebar. There’s no account, API key or setup. Good for real estate agents, mortgage brokers, loan officers, credit unions, home builders and personal finance blogs. **Calculators** * Mortgage payment (with taxes, insurance and PMI) * Mortgage refinance * Cash-out refinance * How much house can I afford * Amortization schedule * Additional (extra) payment * APR * Which loan is better * Mortgage points * Rent vs. buy * How much income do I need to qualify * Standard vs. bi-weekly payments * Interest only, and interest only with extra payments * Mortgage length * Mortgage principal * Mortgage tax benefits * Should I use a HELOC to pay off debt **Features** * A “Mortgage Calculator” block with settings for the calculator, heading, theme and accent color * A `[mortgage_calculator]` shortcode for classic editors, widgets and page builders * Optional menu that lets visitors switch between all 18 calculators * Light, dark, or matches the visitor’s setting * Works on phones and fits any column width * Styles are isolated, so your theme and the calculator don’t clash **Shortcode examples** ``` [mortgage_calculator] [mortgage_calculator calculator="rent-vs-buy-calculator" theme="dark"] [mortgage_calculator calculator="mortgage-refinance-calculator" picker="true" accent="#0f6b5c" width="640" title="Should you refinance?"] ``` Options: * `calculator`: which calculator. See the FAQ for the list. Default: `mortgage- payment-calculator` * `picker`: `true` shows a menu to switch calculators * `title`: heading text; `none` hides it. Default: the calculator’s name * `theme`: `auto`, `light` or `dark` * `accent`: button color as a hex value, such as `#0f6b5c` * `width`: maximum width in pixels. Default: fills the column ### External services This plugin is a front end for the MortgageCalculator.me calculator service, which does the calculations. It’s needed for the plugin to work. On pages that show a calculator, the visitor’s browser loads the script `https:// mortgagecalculator.me/widget.js` and sends the numbers the visitor enters to the MortgageCalculator.me API (`https://mortgagecalculator.me/api/v1/`) to get the results. Like any web request, this includes the visitor’s IP address and browser details. The service sets no cookies, does not track visitors, and does not save calculations. Its web server keeps standard request logs (IP address, browser, and the requested address, which includes the numbers entered) for about two weeks for security and troubleshooting. Nothing is sent from the WordPress admin, and nothing is sent on pages without a calculator. The service is provided by MortgageCalculator.me (SiteTools, Inc.): [Terms of Service](https://mortgagecalculator.me/Terms-Of-Service), [Privacy Policy](https://mortgagecalculator.me/Privacy-Policy). ## Screenshots [⌊The APR calculator on a page, light theme.⌉⌊The APR calculator on a page, light theme.⌉[ The APR calculator on a page, light theme.
