Free Tool

Car budget calculator builder.

Configure a branded budget calculator in two minutes. Drop the embed code on your finance page or share the link on Facebook. Customers click Shop My Budget and land on your inventory pre-filtered to vehicles they can afford.

Step 1

Configure your calculator

Shows above the calculator.

What rate would your finance manager quote for each credit tier? These drive the math.

%

North Carolina dealers: leave at 3% for Highway Use Tax.

Go to your website's inventory page, set the max price filter to 20,000, and paste that full URL here. The calculator will swap that 20000 for the customer's calculated budget when they click Shop My Budget.

  • Squarespace / custom: https://www.hcautosales.com/inventory/?price_min=10000&price_max=20000

If you used a different max-price value above, change this to match. The calculator replaces every copy of this number with the customer's budget.

Step 2

Preview & share

Paste this on your site — finance page, home page, anywhere. It works in WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and KGI Web.

Why dealers love it

Filter the tire-kickers, fast.

Shoppers self-qualify before they ever step on the lot. By the time they click Shop My Budget, they're looking at vehicles they can actually buy.

Pre-qualified leads

Every click on Shop My Budget is a buyer who's already done the math. They know their payment, their term, and their realistic price range.

Lands on your inventory

The calculator deep-links straight to your SRP with the budget pre-applied as a max-price filter. No bouncing, no hunting.

Embed or share

Drop the embed on your finance page, or post the share link on Facebook. Same calculator, two delivery channels.

Mobile-first

Big tap targets, slider for monthly payment, snappy chips for term and credit. Works on any phone, any browser.

Your real APRs

You set the rates by credit tier — the math reflects the deal you'd actually quote, not a generic national average.

Tax included

Defaults to North Carolina's 3% Highway Use Tax. Tweak it for your state. The calculator rolls tax into the financed amount so the budget number is honest.

Common Questions

Quick FAQ.

Is this really free?

Yes. No account, no email capture, no expiration. KGI Dealer Solutions builds tools like this so dealers know who we are when they shop for a website or DMS. If we ever earn your business, great. If not, the calculator is yours to keep.

How accurate is the math?

It uses the standard present-value-of-an-annuity formula that lenders use to underwrite a payment. We round the budget down to the nearest $500 so the SRP filter returns a healthy list of vehicles, not just one car at the very top of their range.

What if my inventory URL is weird?

As long as the URL has the max-price as a number you can see, this works. Set a filter to 20,000, copy the URL, paste it in. The calculator finds 20000 in your URL and swaps it for the customer's budget. If you used a different number (like 25000), just change it in the “Number to replace” field.

Does it work on my website builder?

The embed code is a standard <iframe>. Every modern website builder (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, KGI Web, Carsforsale, Auto Dealer, you name it) supports iframes. Drop the code in any HTML/embed block.

Will this hurt my SEO?

No. The iframe loads from kgidealersolutions.com, so it's not your page being indexed — it's our page being shown inside yours. Your finance page keeps its own content and ranking. If anything, dwell time goes up because shoppers actually engage with the calculator.

Can I customize the colors or branding?

Right now you can set the dealer name and the hero vehicle image. Color theming is on the roadmap. If you want a fully white-labeled version, we build those as part of our dealer website packages — the calculator becomes a native page on your site instead of an iframe.

Want a Website to Match?

We make killer dealer sites.

Custom-built, mobile-first, and content-driven. The calculator can live as a native page on your site, with deep links, schema, and full SEO juice.
