Cost Calculator
Oct 14, 2025
The wrapping year was very productive for the Cost Calculator Builder. In 2025, the plugin underwent a series of meaningful improvements aimed at enhancing usability, visual flexibility, data visibility, and order management. The updates that we made reflect a shift toward making the plugin not only a calculator-building tool, but also a conversion-focused, analytics-driven, and workflow-friendly solution for businesses.
Let’s take a closer look at those enhancements and see how it elevates your work:
New Cost Calculator Builder – Smarter, Faster, More Creative Calculators
This year, we completely reimagined and rebuilt our calculator to give creators a smoother, more intuitive, and more flexible experience, whether you’re designing pricing tools, quote estimators, or interactive calculators.
What’s new in the 2025 update?
- Customize each element’s size for a harmonious, visually appealing layout
Say goodbye to rigid, uniform blocks or cramped designs. Now you can resize and move any field to create the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. For instance, in a home renovation cost estimator, a wide slider can showcase “Square Footage,” while smaller input boxes manage “Material Type” and “Labor Hours.” Each component can be scaled to highlight its importance, resulting in a cleaner, more professional layout that’s easy for users to read and navigate.
- Simplified creation of step-by-step and multi-page calculators
Earlier, building a step-by-step or multi-page calculator required first adding a special container before placing other elements. With the new update, that extra step is eliminated, you can now add additional steps or pages directly in the builder with a single click, making the entire process faster and more intuitive.
- Structure your calculator into sections for improved clarity and navigation
With the newly introduced updates you can transform complex or cluttered calculators into clear, step-by-step experiences. Break your tool into separate sections to guide users through a logical flow. For example, a custom wedding budget planner could be divided into “Venue,” “Catering,” “Decor,” and “Entertainment” sections, making it easier for users to follow and interact with the calculator.
Advanced Analytics for Smarter Insights
In 2025, in Cost Calculator Builder we introduced a powerful new Analytics feature that gives you complete visibility into how your calculators are performing. With these insights, you can make smarter decisions, optimize user flow, and drive more revenue from your interactive tools.
What’s included in the new Analytics dashboard:
Comprehensive overview across all calculators
This feature allows you to see total revenue, number of orders, average order value, views, and user interactions, all in one place. Reports can be filtered by timeframe (today, yesterday, this week, month, last 90 days, or custom) and by order status (completed, pending, etc.).
In-depth insights per calculator
You can click on any calculator to view:
- Orders vs. interactions (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly)
- Top-performing days
- Revenue per calculator
- Field-level data, such as which quantity ranges are most commonly selected
Customizable dashboard with widgets
Now you can track what matters most to your business. Add widgets for revenue, interactions, specific fields, or any other key metrics directly to your dashboard for a fully tailored view.
Whether you run a renovation business, rental company, cleaning service, or any other service-based business, having real insights into your calculators’ performance means you can operate smarter, optimize conversions, and grow your revenue, all based on real data, not guesswork.
New UI for Orders list and Order details
In 2025, we introduced several updates in Cost Calculator Builder to make order management smarter, more organized, and easier to use. These enhancements give you greater control over how orders are displayed, tracked, and managed, helping streamline your daily workflow.
Here are the upgrades:
- Display Configuration Options
You can now customize exactly what appears in the Orders table and Order Details view. This makes it easier to see the information that matters most at a glance, reducing clutter and improving efficiency.
- Custom Order Statuses
Create your own order statuses with custom names and colors, giving you the flexibility to reflect your business workflow. This allows you to track orders in a way that makes sense for your processes, whether it’s “Pending Review,” “In Progress,” or “Completed.”
- Order Notes
Add internal notes to each order to document important details, updates, or team communications. This feature ensures everyone on your team stays informed and can collaborate effectively without leaving the dashboard.
- Redesigned Interface
Both the Orders List and Order Details pages have been refreshed with a cleaner, more intuitive layout. Navigating orders, reviewing details, and taking action is now faster and easier than ever.
- Improved Filtering System
Finding specific orders is simpler with enhanced, user-friendly filters. Quickly search by status, date, or other criteria to locate the orders you need without wasting time.
These improvements are designed to give you full control over your orders, simplify management, and help your team work more efficiently, turning order tracking from a routine task into a smooth, organized process.
New styles for Quantity, Basic slider and Multi range slider fields
The 2025 updates brought significant improvements to the Basic Slider and other input elements, making them more flexible, precise, and visually appealing.
- New styles for the Basic Slider
Five fresh styles were added, giving you greater control over the look and feel of your sliders. This makes it easier to match the design of your calculators to your website’s branding and create a more engaging user experience.
- Slider Scale Points
A new “Slider Scale Points” setting allows you to define intermediate markers along the slider. This is perfect for creating custom steps or values, making the slider more informative and easier for users to understand.
- Snap to Scale Points
The “Snap to Scale Points” option enables the slider handle to jump directly between the defined markers. This provides faster, more precise input, reducing user errors and improving overall interaction.
- Redesigned unit views
The Quantity element in the free version and the Multi Range element in the Pro version received a redesigned unit view. These updates improve clarity and usability, making it simpler for users to enter quantities or select ranges accurately.
Together, these enhancements give creators more control, flexibility, and precision while building calculators, resulting in cleaner, more professional, and user-friendly tools.
The 2025 updates mark a major step forward for Cost Calculator Builder, transforming it into a more adaptable, user-friendly, and robust tool than ever before. From fully customizable sliders and redesigned input elements to advanced analytics and streamlined multi-step calculators, every enhancement is designed to make building interactive, user-friendly calculators faster, easier, and more precise. These improvements not only give creators more control over design and functionality but also help deliver a smoother, more engaging experience for users ultimately driving higher conversions and better business results. With these updates, Cost Calculator Builder continues to be the go-to solution for creating smart, beautiful, and effective calculators.
