Free payback period calculator template for your website
"How long until this pays for itself?" is the last question before a purchase. This template answers it in months, from the upfront cost and the monthly saving. Try it below, then embed it.
Free plan: one live calculator, 200 submissions a month, and a small “Made with WidgetCalc” link under the widget. No card.
How this template works
It asks for 2 numbers and answers with one sentence:
- Upfront investment (€)
- Monthly saving (€)
The formula is [investment] / [monthly_saving] and the answer reads
“This pays for itself in about {result} months.”.
Both are plain text fields in the builder, so you can rewrite either one without touching code.

Every visitor who runs it leaves their email with their result, and you export the list whenever you like. The embed guide walks through it.
Free covers one calculator and 200 submissions a month and shows a small “Made with WidgetCalc” link under the widget. Starter is €15 a month, or €150 for a year, and removes both limits and the link.
