Build unlimited cost calculators, price estimators and quote forms with a drag-and-drop builder. 100% free — every feature, no paywall.

== Description ==

**RGT Quote Builder** is a free drag-and-drop **cost calculator** and **price quote form** builder for WordPress. Create instant price estimators, service quote forms, loan and mortgage calculators, BMI calculators and more — then embed them anywhere with a shortcode or block. No coding, no monthly fees, and **no locked features**.

Most calculator plugins give you a handful of fields free and lock everything useful — conditional logic, multi-step forms, discounts, spam protection — behind a paid upgrade. RGT Quote Builder is different: **everything is free, forever.** We don't paywall your calculator.

= Why you'll like it =

* **100% free — every feature.** No "Pro" upsell wall. Conditional logic, multi-step forms, discounts and promo codes, spam protection, quote forms — all included.
* **Real drag-and-drop layout.** Arrange fields into rows and columns. Drop an element beside another to make a column, or between rows for a new row. Resize any field (full, ½, ⅓, ¼).
* **Live preview while you build.** What you build is exactly what your visitors see.
* **Lightweight & fast.** Scripts load only on pages that actually contain a calculator — no site-wide bloat. No tracking, ever.
* **100+ ready-made templates.** Start from a loan calculator, mortgage calculator, BMI, tip, service quote, moving cost, wedding cost and dozens more across finance, health, home, services and everyday life.
* **Works everywhere.** Shortcode, native Gutenberg block, or classic widget.

= Elements included (all free) =

Number, quantity, slider, multi-range slider, dropdown, radio, checkbox, toggle, image radio/checkbox/dropdown, date picker, time picker, file upload, text, textarea, email, formula, heading, HTML, divider, page break (multi-step), and a captcha element for spam protection.

= Powerful features, no upgrade required =

* **Formula engine** — write custom pricing with `+ − × ÷`, brackets and functions like round, min, max, pow and if().
* **Conditional logic** — show or hide any field based on what the visitor selects.
* **Multi-step forms** — split long forms into steps with a progress indicator and Back/Next navigation.
* **Discounts & promo codes** — automatic discounts or codes the visitor enters, with live recalculation.
* **Quote forms** — collect the visitor's details and email the quote to you (and optionally to them).
* **Spam protection** — Google reCAPTCHA (v2 & v3), hCaptcha, or Cloudflare Turnstile. Add your keys and drop a captcha onto any form.
* **Currency & appearance** — set your symbol, colours, corner radius, light/dark theme and width.
* **Import / export** — move a calculator between sites as a JSON file.

= Made by ReadyGoTools =

Built by the team behind ReadyGo's other free WordPress tools. We build fast, no-nonsense plugins that don't nag you to upgrade.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/rgt-quote-builder`, or install through **Plugins → Add New**.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
3. Go to **Quote Builder** in the admin menu.
4. Click **New quote form** (or start from a template), drag in your elements, and press **Save**.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is it really free? =
Yes. Every element and every feature is free, with no upgrade wall and no feature limits. We don't paywall your calculator.

= Can I build a loan or mortgage calculator? =
Absolutely. There are ready-made loan and mortgage calculator templates, and you can build any custom calculator with the formula engine.

= Can I make a service quote form that emails me the quote? =
Yes. Turn on the quote form for any calculator to collect the visitor's name, email and message and have the quote emailed to you (and optionally to the customer).

= Does it slow down my site? =
No. The calculator scripts load only on pages that contain a calculator, and there is no tracking or external calls.

= How do I stop spam? =
Add your Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha or Cloudflare Turnstile keys under **Settings → Security**, then drag a **Captcha** element onto your form.

= Can I add it with the block editor or Elementor? =
Use the native **RGT Quote Builder** block, the `[rgt_quote_builder id="…"]` shortcode (works in Elementor, Divi, and any builder), or the classic widget.

= Can I move a calculator to another site? =
Yes — export any calculator to a JSON file and import it on another site.
