Cost Calculator by BoldThemes

Cost Calculator by BoldThemes

is a flexible WordPress plugin designed to help businesses build interactive and visually intuitive cost estimation forms. Whether you’re in real estate, medical services, education, car rentals, or any service-based industry, this tool enables website owners to provide potential customers with accurate cost predictions in real-time.

Technically, the plugin integrates seamlessly with both BoldThemes and non-BoldThemes WordPress sites. It uses a responsive and modular architecture built on JavaScript and CSS3, ensuring compatibility across devices and modern browsers. The plugin includes a powerful visual builder that allows users to drag and drop elements to create custom calculators. Supported elements include sliders, dropdowns, checkboxes, date pickers, and numeric inputs, all of which can be linked with custom math formulas to return precise pricing estimates.

One of the core features is its ability to display conditional fields, meaning certain inputs appear based on user selections. This is particularly useful for complex pricing models where different service tiers or add-ons affect the final cost. Users can also integrate PayPal for direct payments or use Contact Form 7 or WPBakery Page Builder for advanced workflow combinations.

From a styling perspective, Cost Calculator by BoldThemes offers a variety of layout and color customization options, so it can blend smoothly with any site’s branding. The calculators can be embedded anywhere using shortcodes or Gutenberg blocks, offering complete layout flexibility. It supports both percentage-based and fixed-cost calculations, and results can be displayed immediately or emailed upon submission.

In addition to form creation, the plugin supports email notifications and quote request submissions, making it useful not only as a cost estimator but also as a lead-generation tool. Administrators can set default values, enforce input limits, and preview how calculations work in real-time. The plugin also includes translation-ready files, enabling use on multilingual websites.

Overall, Cost Calculator by BoldThemes stands out for its balance between simplicity and advanced functionality. It enables service providers to give clients transparent pricing while reducing the back-and-forth typically associated with custom quote requests. Whether you’re offering a single product or multiple packages with variable options, this plugin ensures both functionality and user experience are prioritized.
