    Customization Tips

    Adjusting Size

    The default size works for most layouts, but you can customize:

    • Width: Use pixels (400) or percentage (100%)
    • Height: Adjust based on how much of the calculator you want visible

    For responsive design, use `width="100%"` and set a `max-width` in the container.

    Styling the Container

    Wrap the embed in a styled div for better presentation:

    ```html

    ```

    Center Alignment

    To center the calculator:

    ```html

    ```

    Best Practices

    1. Place Calculators Strategically

    Put calculators where they're most relevant:

    • Mortgage calculator on home buying articles
    • Compound interest calculator on investment guides
    • Near your call-to-action

    2. Add Context

    Don't just drop in a calculator. Add helpful text:

    • Explain what the calculator does
    • Guide users on how to use it
    • Explain what the results mean

    3. Mobile Responsiveness

    Our calculators are mobile-friendly, but check:

    • Use `max-width: 100%` in the iframe style
    • Test on multiple devices
    • Ensure surrounding content doesn't crowd the calculator

    4. Loading Performance

    Our calculators load asynchronously with `loading="lazy"`, so they won't slow down your page. The script loads only when the user scrolls to the calculator.

    Troubleshooting

    Calculator Not Showing

    • Check that your platform allows iframes
    • Ensure the code was pasted in HTML mode, not visual mode
    • Clear your website cache

    Calculator Too Small/Large

    • Adjust the width and height values in the embed code
    • Use CSS to set max-width on the container

    Display Issues on Mobile

    • Use percentage width (100%) instead of fixed pixels
    • Add the style `max-width: 100%` to the iframe
