Pricestead Cost Calculators Plugin

Put a ready-made cost calculator for your trade on your website. Visitors answer a few questions and instantly get a low, typical and high estimate, with an explanation of how it was calculated and the sources behind the numbers. Below the result, your own “Request a quote” button leads them to your contact page.

Included calculators:

Roof repair estimate
Window installation estimate
HVAC installation cost estimator
Paint cost estimator
Finished basement cost estimator

Features:

Shortcode and block, several calculators on the same page.
Your own quote button (URL and text), set globally or per calculator.
Accent color setting.
Mobile-first and accessible (labels, live result region).
No build step, no external requests, no tracking.

Usage

Shortcode:

[pricestead_calculator tool="roof-repair-estimate" cta_url="/contact" cta_label="Get a free quote"]

Or add the “Pricestead Calculator” block and pick a calculator in the block settings. Defaults for the quote button and color are under Settings > Pricestead Calculators.

Credit link (opt-in)

The plugin can show a small “Cost data by Pricestead” link under each calculator. It is OFF by default and is shown only if you enable it in Settings > Pricestead Calculators. Nothing is added to your public pages without your permission.

External services

This plugin does not make any external requests. All data, calculation logic and scripts are bundled inside the plugin, nothing is sent to Pricestead or to any third party, and no cookies or tracking are used. Cost data is updated by releasing new versions of the plugin. If you enable the optional credit link, it is a normal link to https://pricestead.com that only loads if a visitor clicks it. Source links shown under each result also lead to third-party sites only when clicked.
