Add a calculator to a Squarespace site
The code is two lines of HTML. Where it goes: a Code block, set to HTML. The calculator is free, with no account, no script and no ads.
The steps
- Edit the page or post where the calculator should appear.
- Add a block and choose Code.
- Paste the code into the block.
- Make sure the mode menu is set to HTML, or the code is shown as text.
- Save, then look at the page as a visitor would.
These steps are as Squarespace: Code blocks gave them on . We read them; we have not tested them on every plan. If a menu has moved since, that page is the authority.
What stops it working
Squarespace lists frames in a Code block as a premium feature, not included in its Basic plan. Its help also says code sometimes does not appear while you are logged in to edit, even though visitors can see it.

- Nothing appears. The plan or the editor has removed the frame. That is the first thing to check, above.
- It is cut off. The code asks for 820 pixels of height. Raise the number, or accept that the calculator scrolls inside its box.
- The credit is missing. The second line of the code is the credit link. Paste both lines.
