Your IDX site already has a calculator. Is it enough?

Many IDX websites include a simple payment calculator on property pages. This IDX mortgage calculator vs lead capture calculator comparison shows what built-in widgets usually do well, where they stop, and how agents use CalcCapture alongside their IDX rather than instead of it.

Use both, where each is strongest

Your IDX handles search, listings and registration. CalcCapture handles the questions that come before and after a search: affordability, cash to close, the seller's net, investor returns. Many agents keep the IDX's built-in widget and add CalcCapture to buyer and seller pages, blog posts and open-house QR codes.

Where your IDX template allows custom HTML on property pages, you can replace or supplement the built-in widget there too.

  • Keep IDX search and registration
  • Add calculators to pages IDX doesn't cover
  • Leads from both can meet in your CRM
Questions by topic

Questions agents ask

Will CalcCapture conflict with my IDX?

No. Embeds are isolated from your site's code and styles. They sit on the same pages without interfering.

Can I put it on IDX property pages?

If your provider allows custom HTML or iframes there. See the IDX guide.

Does it replace IDX lead registration?

No. Registration walls and calculator leads serve different visitors. Calculators capture people who won't register for search.
