Shortcodes in Output Messages
There are a while range of shortcodes you can use in the output message. For example:
Your repayments will be [repayment] at [rate] interest each [period].
The interest to pay is [interest] on a loan of [principle] giving a total of [total].
The repayment date is [date].
The shortcodes are:
| [repayment] | How much will be repaid each period |
| [step] | The step size |
| [rate] | The interest rate |
| [monthlyrate] | Shows the monthly rate if the term is set to years and you are using an APR. |
| [interest] | The interest to be paid |
| [processing] | The processing amount |
| [total] | The total to be repaid |
| [principle] | The amount slider value |
| [term] | The term slider value |
| [period] | The period: days, weeks, months or years |
| [date] | The repayment date. There are options to change the format in the settings |
| [downpayment] | The downpayment value. Example |
| [fixeddownpayment] | The fixed downpayment value |
| [downpaymentpercent] | The downpayment percentage |
| [mitigated] | The loan amount after the downpayment has been subtracted from the principle |
| [primary] | The total to pay using the primary interest rate. Explanation and Example |
| [secondary] | The total to pay using the secondary interest rate. Explanation and Example |
| [percentagesX] | A percentage of the loan amount. Explanation and Example |
Hello,
is there a way to perform calculations in the output options? like [total] – [principle]?
Hi Joseph,
Not really possible. But it’s very easy to create new shortcodes that show the result you want. I can add [cost] which is total – principle. If you have paid for the pro version I can add this for free.
hello
how do i configure the calculator to use reducing balance method at an interest rate of 8%?
for example, someone wants to borrow 2,000,000 so monthly instalments will be 776,067 but ensuring the calculator shows that, i have failed
Hi Yebo,
You need to upgrade and select amortisation in the interest settings
what are the short codes for the Thank-you blurb only [amount] works but i need [repayment]/month for [term] with a Downpayment of [downpayment]
Hello Support Team,
I have following working out loan repayment but could not make it happen on calculator. Please I need help.
Here is example of Repayment Table:
Week; 5 6 7 8 9 10
$500: 122.50 104.17 91.07 81.25 73.61 67.50
Working out Formula:
Principal x Interest / # of week in a year x No.# of week
= Answer + $50 (Hidden Fee)= Interest
= Interest + Principal
= Answer (Balance Payable) / No.# of week Repayable
= Repayment per week
Hi Jay, I’ve sent you an email
Hi Graham,
How do I go about displaying the repayment for weekly, fornightly and monthly repayment like the calculator on this page https://www.jacarandafinance.com.au/
We will be using the paid version.
Hi Sandy,
You can try these shortcodes: [weekly], [monthly] and [annual]. It’s been a long time since I added these so can’t remember exactly how they work.
Hi Graham.
I have the slider running on this page – https://turnerstraveller.co.za/payment-options/
Under the LayUp (Pay Now, Travel Later) payment option.
I’d like to have the slider under the Mobicred (Travel Now, Pay Later) payment option as well, but here it will use an interest rate to determine the monthly repayment amounts.
Please, can you assist?
Hi Hein,
If you have the pro version you can put two calculators on the same page.
in order to implement/learn the plugin , nothing work for me except the basic shortcode [qis]
how do i “activate” or impliment the short code like this : [qis percentages="90,8.3,98.3,1.7"] ?
Ilan,
Have you looked at this: https://loanpaymentplugin.com/features/shortcodes/actual-percentages/
You need to add the indicated shortcodes to the repayment output.
Hey, is there a way to display just a weekly repayment amount, I don’t want monthly. Cheers, Nick

Hi Nick,
You can output anything you like. Set the ‘Repayment Divider’ value to 52 to get weeks from years.
Can I set the term to years and repayment to weeks? I set the divider to 52 but it still shows as a yearly amount
Hi Shaun,
Seems to be working now. On a $2000 loan over 2 years the weekly repayments are $34
please non of these short code are working. It’s only the [qis] codes that works. How can I make them work ?
Please send a link to the calculator page. The shortcodes all work for me.
Hello, how are you?
I want my calculator show me (below the sliders): number of weekly payments, amount of each payment, monthly rate, total interest, 8% commission
1. I guess I fill the most of the values already, but I don’t know where the commission goes
2. Also I am super confused with the output options. I don’t know exactly which shortcode use to get the values mentioned above
An example:
number of payments: 16 weekly
amount of each payment: $ 7,000.00
Annual rate: 36%
monthly rate: 3.0%
total interest: $ 12,000.00
commission: 8%
*I don’t know if numbers are ok, but this is the example of how a i want to see the results pf calculation
The parameters of the calculator are:
Minimum amount: $ 50,000
Maximum Amount: $ 150,000
Minimum term: 3 months
Maximum period: 24 months
Rate from 3 to 5 months: 43%
Rate from 6 to 11 months: 36%
Rate from 12 to 24: 30%
Can you help me?
Thank you, have a nice day!
Hi Esmeralda,
I’ve sent you an email with the details on how to do this.
small typo: [princple] >> [principle]
Thanks Joe, all done. Still trying to fix the other bugs
Yes. That just calculates interest with (principle+service fee)
i want the output to show the monthly repayment with service included. eg if the total payment including fees is 5000.
The output should be 5000/term. im getting 5000 -fees/term
Tariq,
I’ve tested and the fees get added before interest is calculated. So not sure why it’s not working for you.
Hi
How do you display monthly repayments = principal + interest + service fee /months.
The repayments are calculating before the service fee is added ,displaying excluding the service fee.
Hi Tariq,
Have you tried using the option to add the fees before interest is calculated?
how to add the amount of monthly installment?
Hi Ben,
Just use the [repayment] shortcode as in the example above
Is it possible to do the following: Home sold for ($xxxxx) amount. You would save 3% = ($xxxxx) amount.
thank you,
Hi Graham,
I am having problems with the shortcode [princple]. It does not work. Can you help me? Will I do something wrong? My website http://website.ipro.vn/vvt/
Thanks!
I’ve looked at your site and works correctly
Hi Graham
How do is set max term using teh shortcode? I tried term=5 and maxterm=5 but no joy
Cheers
John
John,
Try periodmax: https://loanpaymentplugin.com/features/shortcodes/
Hi, I would like the Loan Period to be in “Years”, and display the repayment amount in “Months”.
This is an expected requirement in most banks’ calculators. How do i do that ? It seems that if i select the Loan Period in “Years”, the repayment shown will be in “Years” too.
If there’s no way around this, can i please request a refund on my purchase? thanks and much appreciated.
Hi James,
Set the repayment divider to 12 to get monthly repayments. Then use the [repayment] shortcode in the repayment terms.
hi. how do you get it to output on a new line in “output repayment terms”
all the outputs go on a single line? should i use a comma or colon etc?
I do this:
Interest: [rate]<br>Repayment: [repayment] each [period]
or this:
p>Interest: <b>[rate]</b></p><p>Repayment: <b>[repayment]</b> each [period]</p>
or you can use the [table] shortcode
Hi there,
I am trying to do an interest only loan so my [repayment] value seems to be incorrect…from what I can see it is including the actual repayment value too.
Is there any way of outputting the monthly interest payment?
Hi Adam,
I could develop a shortcode for this but it would need a bit of thought as it will have to cope with loan periods of years, months and weeks. All you can do at the moment is output the total interest.
Hello, I want to substract an amount from the interest and display this result.
Ex : interest 20 000€ and downpayment 2 000€, I want to display the result 18 000€.
Please help me
Hi Thanh,
I’m not sure you can do that. Downpayments are usually subtracted from the principle not the interest. In theory it could work but it may be that the downpayment is greater than the interest which would mean you owe them money.
Hi Graham,
Thank you for the reply. I put AUD as the currency code but you are right the error doesn’t stop it from working.
Maybe custom shortcodes or is there a way to execute php (https://wordpress.org/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/) to do something like [princple]*0.083 and or other calculations and display in the “Output Options”?
Kind regards
Tim Lester
Sent you an email
Thank you for your plugin. I have it at https://payx.com.au/ . I am having trouble with Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/payxcom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/quick-interest-slider/settings.php on line 193 . Maybe it doesn’t like PHP 7.1?
I am also have issues with calculating 90% and 8.3% of the slider value.
Hi Tim,
Not sure why you are seeing the error message. That line is to do with the currency options and shouldn’t affect anything. As to the dual interest rates. You are trying to do something the plugin was never designed to do. I might be able to do something to use the primary and secondary interest rates but it’s not a simple fix.
