The “Calculated Fields Form” plugin allows you to create web forms with calculated fields, whose values are dynamically calculated based on other fields’ values in the web form.
The possibilities are unlimited. For example, you can create forms with financial calculations, date operations to create reservation forms, and calculate the product prices. The plugin includes text operations for editing, translation, or advertising services. There are more advanced operations available such as determining the distance between addresses or generating graphs. The resulting forms are 100% mobile responsive.
The most impressive thing is that you don’t need to hire a programmer to create the forms. With basic knowledge, you will have a professional form in just five minutes.
Creating a form is all visual. The “Calculated Fields Form” plugin includes a form editor with multiple controls. Such as text fields, numeric fields, currency fields, slider controls, email fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, container fields, page breaks to create multipage forms, and most importantly, calculated fields.
The form editor includes a list of controls, a property bar to easily edit field properties, a dashboard where you can design your forms, and the attributes for form configuration. Also, the plugin comes with multiple predefined layouts to change the forms’ appearance. If there are not enough predefined layouts for your project, there is a style editor to customize the form’s design.
The “Calculated Fields Form” plugin includes integration with popular page builders:
- Classic WordPress Editor
- Gutenberg Editor
- Elementor
- Page Builder by SiteOrigin
- Beaver Builder
- WPBakery Page Builder

For other editors, it is possible to insert the form into the pages via its shortcode. Each web form has an associated shortcode that allows you to insert it wherever you want.
