Add an option to generate a range of results

It would be great if we could present the calculator result as a range. For example, if the result is $100, I’d like to show it as $80-$120.

If I were to use the calculator as a pricing estimator before final quotes, this way customers wouldn’t be confused when the final price was different from the estimate.

Thanks!

Hi there @user10677 :wave:

I am afraid this task is quite a tall order at the moment. However, if this request gets more support from other users, we’ll try to take it under consideration in our future updates.

A huge thank you for sharing your idea and yes, welcome to the Community :wink:

Thanks Max!

I must admit I’m not a coder. I assumed it would be as easy as
If result = x
then display:
x = (x * 0.8) to (x * 1.2)

(I have no idea what how that would look like in whatever code you use haha)

But anyway, all of my Elfsight widgets have been great, and for a reasonable price too. Keep up the good work :smiley:

A huge thank you for your awesome feedback, it means the world to us!

Technically, we always expect 1 calculation result, for example x0.8.
This result can then be used in other calculations as a variable and is formatted ($(x
0.8)) in the results.

As a workaround, you can try to add 2 results to your widget :slightly_smiling_face:

Okay thanks for the idea, I didn’t realize I could have two results. I’ll try and see if I can make it work.

It looks messy this way - many times the price is an estimate ranging FROM-TO and it’d be great t have an option to display it on one row

Hi there, @Krunoslav_Koprivnjak :wave:

Got your point, thanks for the feedback! We’ll have it in mind and see for more feedback from the community :slightly_smiling_face:

I do marketing for a home remodeling company and would like to use the estimate calculator to give a cost range from lowest to highest price. Estimates vary from project to project based on sq footage, materials, etc, so having a single set price at the end could be way off when it comes to us actually getting in and seeing the project.

@Noah_Beard Glad to say that this idea is also on the Wishlist, and I’ve merged your comment with the original request :slightly_smiling_face:

We use the Calculator to provide a cost estimate but it is not a fixed price. Instead of providing a fixed cost, we would like the option to provide a cost range with the Calculator. We can do this with Tally, but we like the other features more with Elfsight.

Thanks a bunch for the feedback!

I agree that a price range option would be a nice addition to the app. This feature was previously requested by other users and I’ve merged your comment with the existing request.

If more users upvote the idea, it might be considered in the future updates :slightly_smiling_face:
