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 |
Hey thank you for taking the time to read my request.
I’m trying to add spacing in the “display repayment terms” field but everything is shown in a single line. Tried HTML spacing but did not work. Is there a way to ad spacing and have multiple lines?
I’m trying to accomplish something like this:
Text 1: [total]*
Text 2: [term]
Text 3: [repayment]*
Text 4: [principle]
Text 5: [total]*
Text 6: [repayment]*
Hi Mauro,
I had to remove the HTML options as there was a security issue. But I’m testing a version where you can select to include HTML. Or you could use the output table option. I’m sending you an email withe update to test. It may end up in your junk folder (because gmail is stupid like that).
Hi Graham,
I have the Upgraded version and struggling to customise the Outputs of the floating slider outputs. ie. Font size and background.
Hi Farai,
Go to the styling tab and scroll to the bottom. You can set the background colour and font size.
Hi Graham,
I’ve tried that on the Custom CSS right at the bottom, but the form doesn’t change. Would you perhaps assist with how to edit the CSS code. I pretty much want the output to look like one of your simpler plugin with code [lcr]. Would appreciate your help please.
Not really sure you can do what you want. The simpler plugin and many others I have built use a totally different code base. The floating option on this plugin was a bit of a bolt on for a client. I’ve never put much effort into all the details because it’s used so rarely.
Your best bet is to use the [lrc] plugin or this one:
https://variants.loanpaymentplugin.com/repayments/
Hi Graham,
I tried the [lrc] plugin but the calculations in the code back-end likely have material errors hence I decided to upgrade my [qis]. You may try identical inputs on [qis] & [lrc] and compare the outputs. I trust the [qis] ones. I could use [lrc] if you included daily interest because using APR is giving the wrong interest. I will try the Repayments plugin you suggested.
Farai, I sold the LRC plugin a while back. Somebody else is now the developer. Daily interest is easy to implement on the plugin I suggested you use. It’s a very minor change to the code. Send me an email and we can discuss options.
Hi Graham,
Thanks for that. I tried the suggested one and on my WordPress Installs, there is no option to access settings, only deactivate.
I’ve looked at the other options and this link could also be ideal to solve my problem. It looks pretty much like [qis] with neater formatting which is pretty much the goal.

The second option on this page.
I’m not a fully fledged developer hence my struggle.
Go to the Settings link in the main dashboard menu. Select the Repayments option. There are no styling settings because this is just a freebie for developers to play with. I’ll send you an email about how to get the plugin you want.
Thanks Graham,
I appreciate the help, thanks a lot.
Here’s the link of what we’re trying to do so should work for now.

Cheers and thanks. I’ve also replied to the direct email message you sent.
Hi,
How do I achieve [interest] * [number of weeks]
Thank you
Hi Jerry, can’t do that but I could add a new shortcode for interest x term. The [interest] shortcode should output the total interest to pay.
hi! is there a way to perform calculations in the output options? i need [principle] *.245 and add that result to [total]
There are ways to add an equation editor to the plugin but it’s not simple or cheap. It would be cheaper to get one of one of the custom versions updated: https://loanpaymentplugin.com/custom-versions/
And if only add specific number (fixed fee) to the result of the [total] shortcode
It’s all the same function. You would have a text field in the settings to enter the calculation. It would be the same for a fixed fee or a multiplier.
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"] ?
Hey, is there a way to display just a weekly repayment amount, I don’t want monthly. Cheers, Nick
https://new.moneytreefinance.co.nz
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.
