Financial Calculator

The Financial Calculator is a comprehensive tool designed to enhance user experience by offering a seamless way to calculate indicative loan repayments. Easily integrated into any webpage or blog post, this plugin is equipped with a user-friendly form and utilizes AJAX for real-time calculations, ensuring immediate feedback without the need for page refreshes. This modern approach is complemented by compatibility with older browsers, where the plugin gracefully degrades and introduces a calculation button for manual repayment computation.
