So How could i buy this plugin?
need upgrade "ELITE" plan?
Hi there! You would buy the plugin here: https://formidableforms.com/pricing/
Actually, you don't need the Elite plan. Calculators are unlocked in the Basic plan, which starts at $79/year.
Hi Team,
Can your plugin handle calculations on date fields? eg: Set Date field to value of another date field if option A is selected?
This would be tremendously helpful 🙂
It can calculate the number of days between two dates. Calculating a second date can be done after form submit but it wouldn't be saved in a field. https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/date/#kb-calculate-difference-in-days-in-a-form https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/date/#kb-offset
If the calculation is roughly the same every time (and depending on how your form works) you might be able to use conditional logic or lookup fields as well.
Wow, I like your appearance, the blogposts, the images and everything about it. If I understand correctly, we can create a return calculator for our real estate investment and right next to it include a chart that adjusts based on the calculated value? Because then this plugin would be perfect for us. What plan would we need for this?
Kind regards

Hey, there thanks for your comment and question. It sounds like what you are describing should be possible, but it would be worth creating a new ticket in from our support page so we can be sure we understand your requirements first.
Can I use options in dropdowns for my calculations?
Instead of using the filed id, can I use an option within a filed?
Thanks
Hi there, yes, it is possible to use dropdown options in your calculations. You can either add the numerical value to your option, or use separate saved values if you don't want the numerical value to show in the option. Both methods are covered in our documentation on calculations.
