RoughEst Instant Estimate Calculator

RoughEst Instant Estimate Calculator lets website visitors instantly calculate a rough price range for your services.

See the official documentation and demo on ConnorOnTheWeb.com

To add a calculator to any post or page:

1. In the block editor, click + and search for “RoughEst”
2. Insert RoughEst Sqft Calculator or RoughEst Run Calculator
3. Configure the settings in the right sidebar panel

Classic widgets are also supported for non-block themes via WP Admin > Appearance > Widgets.

This plugin adds two instant calculators:

1. Cost Per Square Foot Calculator

• The customer enters two values
• The plugin multiplies them together to get the square footage
• That number is multiplied by your cost per square foot
• A price range is calculated and displayed
• The range is a percentage above and below the total (e.g. 60% to 120%)

Example (Cost Per Square Foot):

• The customer types in ’10’ for both values
• The plugin multiplies 10 x 10 and gets 100 square feet
• Cost per square foot is set to $100, so 100 x $100 = $10,000
• $10,000 is the base number used to calculate the range
• Low range is set to 60%: 60% of $10,000 = $6,000
• High range is set to 120%: 120% of $10,000 = $12,000
• Displayed price range: $6,000 – $12,000

2. Cost Per Run (Single Value) Calculator

• The customer enters one value
• The plugin multiplies that number by your cost
• A price range is calculated and displayed
• The range is a percentage above and below the total (e.g. 60% to 120%)

Example (Cost Per Run):

• The customer types in ’10’ for the single value
• Cost per run is set to $100, so 10 x $100 = $1,000
• $1,000 is the base number used to calculate the range
• Low range is set to 60%: 60% of $1,000 = $600
• High range is set to 120%: 120% of $1,000 = $1,200
• Displayed price range: $600 – $1,200
