Analytics widgets help website visitors generate estimates and understand key metrics directly on a webpage without custom code. These embeddable widgets can calculate pricing, costs, tuition, expenses, and calorie-related estimates based on selected inputs.
With Jotform’s analytics widgets, you can create a general Calculator widget, a Tuition Calculator, or a Calorie Calculator. They work well on service websites, pricing pages, school and college websites, financial planning pages, fitness websites, health education pages, and landing pages.
These widgets provide visitor-facing calculations. They are different from website analytics tools that track traffic, page views, or visitor behavior.
What can you do with analytics widgets?
Analytics widgets can help you:
- Let visitors calculate prices, costs, or quotes
- Create custom fields and rates for a website calculator
- Include taxes and discounts in supported calculations
- Help students estimate tuition, housing, and other education expenses
- Include scholarships when calculating an estimated net price
- Estimate basal metabolic rate, commonly called BMR
- Calculate estimated maintenance calories and daily calorie targets
- Keep calculations on your website instead of sending visitors to another tool
- Present personalized estimates in an easy-to-read format
Popular analytics widget use cases
Analytics widgets can be used when visitors need an estimate before contacting a business or making a decision. Service providers can use a Calculator widget to estimate project costs, service fees, pricing, or quotes based on their own fields and rates. Taxes and discounts can also be included when supported by the selected calculation setup.
Schools, colleges, training programs, and educational organizations can use a Tuition Calculator widget to help prospective students estimate tuition, housing, and other expenses, as well as scholarships and net price.
Fitness professionals and health education websites can use a Calorie Calculator to estimate BMR, maintenance calories, and daily calorie targets. These results are informational estimates and should not replace guidance from a qualified healthcare or nutrition professional.
Easy website widgets for any team
Embeddable analytics widgets are useful for small businesses, service providers, educators, schools, fitness professionals, financial teams, marketers, and website owners who want to offer useful calculations without relying on a developer or designer.
With Jotform, users can select a widget, configure its fields, rates, values, and design, preview the calculation experience, and copy the embed code. They can then add the widget to a supported website editor or HTML section without custom code.
This makes it easier to provide price estimates, tuition calculations, and calorie-related figures directly on an existing website.

What are analytics widgets?
Analytics widgets are embeddable website calculators that provide estimates based on visitor inputs and configured values. They can calculate pricing, costs, quotes, tuition expenses, net price, BMR, maintenance calories, and daily calorie targets.
Do analytics widgets track website visitors?
The widgets in this category are designed for visitor-facing estimates and calculations. They are not website traffic analytics tools and do not replace platforms for tracking page views, traffic sources, or visitor behavior.
How accurate are the calculations?
Results depend on the fields, rates, formulas, discounts, and other values used by the widget. Calculations should be presented as estimates when final prices, tuition costs, financial amounts, or health-related figures may vary.
Do analytics widgets require coding?
No. You do not need a developer or designer. You can customize the widget, copy the embed code, and add it to your website without custom code. The exact placement steps depend on your website platform or page editor.
