In Calculoid you can select fields by their name and add them to the formula with just a click. Please remember you do not need to start the formula using = and also you do not need brackets for multiplying operations, only use brackets where totally necessary.

To embed your calculator, please go to the Embed tab on the right side of the top menu above your calculator, right next to the green button Save a calculator. 

Every calculator has an embed code that looks like this, please see below, and you have two options to choose from - without or with an iframe.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://embed.calculoid.com/styles/main.css" />
<script src="http://embed.calculoid.com/scripts/combined.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="calculoid" ng-controller="CalculoidMainCtrl" ng-init="init({calcId:64,apiKey:''})" ng-include="load()"></div>

This code is the same for every calculator except for this part:

{calcId:64,apiKey:''}

CalcID stands for the unique calculator number that loads a specific calculator, in this calculator 64. No API key, as in the example above, loads calculator according to free membership. If you login or add manually your API key there, your calculator will be loaded according to your membership type and its permissions.

While Calculoid offers a number of styling options, such as field and font colours and sizes, the best way to adjust styling of your calculator is through CSS of the website where you have your calculator embedded. Calculoid inherits styling from webpage where it is embedded. 

As long as you have access to HTML of your website, Calculoid can be embedded on your website. It is also adviced to have access to CSS for adjustment of styling. Our general advice is to embed any existing calculatorto make sure that calculator styling is not affected in a way that makes calculator unusable.

IMPORTANT: Calculator views are counted per domain. So, you don't have to worry about anyone else stealing your views. If you have 500 montly views, it means you can have calculator viewed 500 times on every domain where it is embedded. One calculator can be used on multiple domains.

A private calculator can be used and embedded only by it's author. Other users do not see it listed and can't copy it.

If you wish for your calculator to be private, please purchase a paid subscription.
