The interactive content your visitors want — that you can’t easily build

Who this is for: realtor sites, loan-officer blogs, credit-union resource pages, first-time-buyer course sites, personal-finance writers, and housing counselors. If your audience is buying a first home, this widget answers their #1 question on your page instead of sending them to Google.

It runs the same verified engine as dpaestimator.com — the FHA 31%/43% debt-to-income guidelines, a 30-year amortization, and national tax/insurance averages — then matches the visitor to their state’s flagship assistance program and shows how much of the down payment it could cover. No email wall. Nothing to maintain.

Add it in 30 seconds

  1. Copy the one line below.
  2. Paste it into your page where you want the calculator to appear.
  3. That’s it — it renders itself, styles itself, and updates as your visitor types.
<script src="https://dpaestimator.com/embed.js"></script>

Want it to appear in one exact spot? Add an empty <div id="dpa-affordability-widget"></div> where you want it, then the script anywhere on the page.

Tracking which of your placements sends the most buyers? Tag it: <script src="https://dpaestimator.com/embed.js" data-partner="your-name"></script> — every click-through carries that tag through to our analytics via UTM.

Common questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The widget is free to embed on any site. It’s useful content for your visitors and a small “Powered by DPA Estimator” credit for us — that’s the whole deal.

Will it slow my page down?

No. It’s a single lightweight script with no external dependencies, and it renders in its own isolated container so it can’t clash with your site’s styles.

Where does the math come from?

The same verified engine as dpaestimator.com: FHA 31%/43% DTI guidelines, a 30-year amortization, and 1.1% tax / 0.35% insurance national averages. It’s an educational estimate, not a loan offer.

Can I put it in exactly one place?

Yes — add <div id="dpa-affordability-widget"></div> where you want it and the widget mounts there. Otherwise it appears wherever the script tag sits.
