The Problem of Free Mortgage Calculators

There are many free website calculators available for use on web sites.  Many are loan payment or mortgage calculators designed for real estate agents or loan brokers.  Many of these free calculators are fairly simple.  Some are easy to install.

There’s one thing they nearly all have in common: if you install them on your website, they take visitors away from your site.  How many times have you searched for a loan calculator for your web site and been disappointed because it displays a link to the developer’s web site?

Install most free web site calculators and you end up advertising for another company and losing visitors to the advertiser’s web site.  Here’s a picture of what I mean:

Typical Free Loan Calculator for Web Sites

Notice the underlined, “Bad Credit Mortgages”?  That’s the link this particular free calculator offers your web site visitors.  Off they go …

MoneyToys Website Calculators are designed so there’s no link.  MoneyToys calculators do not advertise or give your visitors a reason to leave your site.  In fact, everything about MoneyToys(tm) is designed to look like it was created just for your web site.  You configure the colors. You configure the default values your visitors see.  You configure the fonts.

And no one leaves your site because they clicked a link in a “free” calculator!
