  Hi there,

  On what site do you want to do this?

  It’s not possible to embed JavaScript of iframe code on a WordPress.com site.

  Any HTML embed code for something interactive like a calculater will contain either iframe or script HTML tags. In the case of Calconic, their embed code contains script tags, which means it uses JavaScript inside the HTML, and that cannot be used on WordPress.com except on our Business plan:

  I will be upgrading my plan to business plan once I figure out or find out if what i want to do can be done on WordPress. Would i need to edit the script to add other functionality to it or can I add things to it via plugins? thats what i wanted to know

  Hi @tayyab1212, if you have the Business Plan you can add other code.

  I’m not sure about the features of calconic and whether it can be edited to do that. But I am sure if you are a developer, or are able to hire one, it’s definitely possible to make calculations that interact with your WordPress data to get info to your customers.

  You might even find an existing calculator plugin that suits your needs better. If it’s a cost estimator, for example, I know there are several options out there. If you’ll search “WordPress estimator calculator” for example, there are even several reviews and best-of lists available.

  If that isn’t exactly what you need though, you can still write your own plugins for the Business Plan too.

  Hoping that helps!
