Put honest homebuying numbers on your own site

CandidCost is free, neutral, and sourced — so the education can travel. Embed a true-cost or pressure-check calculator on your page in one paste. No login, no lead capture, no lender payments, ever. This is the kind of tool a conversion funnel structurally can't offer.

Who this is for

Housing counselors

HUD-approved agencies can give clients a neutral cost calculator that takes no lender payments and captures no leads.

Credit unions & CDFIs

Offer members an honest true-cost tool without the conflict of a lead-gen widget from a marketplace.

Nonprofits & homebuyer programs

Add sourced education to your first-time-buyer curriculum — every number links back to public government data.

Libraries & educators

A classroom- and reference-desk-friendly calculator that shows its math and cites its sources.

Copy, paste, done

Each snippet drops in a chrome-less widget that auto-sizes to fit — the small script listens for the widget’s height and resizes the frame so there are no inner scrollbars. Nothing tracks your visitors; the widget stores no inputs.

True Cost of Ownership

The full monthly cost of a home — tax, insurance, PMI, maintenance — against the lender-approved payment.

  style="width:100%;border:0;min-height:640px"

  window.addEventListener('message', function (e) {
    if (e.data && e.data.type === 'candidcost:embed:height') {
      var f = document.querySelector('iframe[src*="https://candidcost.com/embed/true-cost"]');
      if (f) f.style.height = e.data.height + 'px';
    }
  });
</script>

Pressure Check (free)

The anti-rush protection: walk-away math, a rushed self-check, and a 24-hour framework.

Our neutrality pledge

· No lender revenue, referral fees, or paid placement — ever.
· We never sell or transmit a visitor’s information to a lender.
· Every number links to its public government source and methodology version.
· The widgets are educational only — they never tell anyone what to do.

The embeds are free to use. If you’d like a co-branded version or have a question, CandidCost is a product of Vaspera Capital.
