Your Clients Ask for Quotes.
Your Website Sends Them to a Contact Form.
There’s a gap between what a potential customer wants — an instant price estimate — and what most WordPress sites offer them: a generic “get in touch” form and a wait.
That gap costs you leads.
Dellos Quote & Estimate Builder closes it. It’s a WordPress estimate builder plugin that works like a calculator — visitors pick their options, enter their quantities, and see a live price update on screen. No back and forth. No waiting. Just clarity.
How to Create a Quote Calculator in WordPress

Build Your Calculator
Use the drag-and-drop builder to add fields — line items, dropdowns, checkboxes, quantity inputs.

Everything You Need in a Free WordPress Cost Estimator Plugin
Drag-and-Drop Builder
Build your calculator visually. Add and reorder fields without touching code. Supports line items, dropdowns, radio buttons, multi-select options, and free text fields.
Live Price Calculation
Your visitors see the price update in real time as they interact with the form — no page reloads, no waiting. Powered by a lightweight vanilla JavaScript engine.
Custom & Conditional Logic
Need more than a flat rate? Write a custom pricing formula using your field values. Set conditional rules to show or hide fields based on what the user selects.
Email Quote Delivery
Send a full price breakdown to your visitor automatically via email. Choose whether to show the total instantly or gate it behind an email capture — ideal for lead generation.
Multi-Currency Support
Choose from USD, GBP, EUR, INR, AED, AUD, CAD, SGD, ZAR, JPY — or define a custom currency symbol. Currency is set per calculator.
Shortcode & Gutenberg Block
Embed your WordPress pricing calculator anywhere with [quotecaelc id="X"] or drop in the native Gutenberg block. Works with Elementor, Divi, Bricks, and any page builder that supports shortcodes.
Markup, Discount & Minimum Price
Apply a percentage markup or discount to the calculated total. Set a minimum price floor so no quote ever goes below your threshold.
Developer-Friendly
Built with hooks and filters for extensibility. Internationalization-ready with a .pot file included. All inputs sanitized, outputs escaped — built to WordPress.org standards.
Built for Any Service Business on WordPress
Quote & Estimate Builder is a WordPress pricing estimate form builder that works across industries. Here’s how businesses use it:
Freelancers & Agencies
Let potential clients estimate their project cost before they reach out — so the leads you get are pre-qualified and price-aware.
Cleaning & Home Services
Build a calculator based on property size, number of rooms, or service frequency. Visitors get an instant estimate. You get a lead.
Events & Catering
Price by guest count, menu options, or venue type. Conditional logic means you only show relevant fields to each visitor.
Print & Custom Manufacturing
Quantity times unit price, with options for materials, finishes, and turnaround. Complex pricing made simple.
Consultants & Coaches
Package-based pricing with dropdown selectors. Gate the quote behind an email capture to build your list while delivering value.
