Today’s the day! I’ve finally released version 1.1 of the WordPress Mortgage Calculator Plugin…that’s right…it’s no longer in beta!
Get it here: http://www.mortgagecalculatorplugin.com/download-wordpress-mortgage-calculator-plugin/
And feel free to tell me what you think in the comments!
Installation:
1. Upload `mortgage-calculator` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Place the following code where you want the calculator to appear on your site.
<?php wp_mortgage_calculator(); ?>
4. This plugin is can also be activated as a widget in WordPress’ widgets screen.
5. I tried to wrap all elements in their own IDs or classes so that you can have full control over the styling of the calculator if you’re comfortable with CSS.

Came across your plugin and just installed on a client’s site! Looks great, changed the CSS a little and added a div around the list, great work!
Thanks Ben, glad it’s working for you!
Looks good. I would add drop default values though for each like $250,000, 6.50% and 30 Years… this can help with conversion in terms of getting people to use it…
Will this Plugin work in CMSs outside of WordPress, like Soholaunch
No, it’s designed only to work with WordPress.

Does work. You’re running PHP > 5 and so you’re going to get this notice because the functions mentioned are for PHP4 but will also run in PHP5+.
But it’s a notice, not an error…you need to change your PHP INI settings to prevent notices from being displayed.
