Free Bankruptcy Calculators You Can Add To Your Wordpress Website

Oftentimes a bankruptcy attorney needs to not
only manage the law within the firm but also the business operations as well.
Most of the attorneys that I have spoken with tend to enjoy the law side of
things more than the business. A common choice for bankruptcy attorneys is WordPress.

Finding clients to work with may be one of the
most challenging pieces of running a law firm. One of the most important
factors to succeeding over the other firms is by standing out. Most times there
are many different ways of standing out. One way to stand out is by providing
something that most attorneys do not; a free bankruptcy calculator.

In this article, I am going to go through how
you can use our free bankruptcy calculator for your WordPress
blog.

What is a Bankruptcy
Calculator?

When an individual faces a financial hardship
such as wage garnishment or foreclosure, they have
questions about bankruptcy. For some folks, bankruptcy is something they
thought that they would never be considering. With all that being said, these
individuals that have never sought debt relief or bankruptcy before need some
insight on what their best options are, costs, and how each option would affect
their short term and long term.

Our free bankruptcy calculators provide free
unbiased information regarding the costs, pros and cons, credit impact, and
other insight to help them make the most informed decision.

Chapter
13 Bankruptcy Calculator vs. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Calculator

You may be wondering about the differences between Chapter 7 vs Chapter 13 bankruptcy. A
bankruptcy calculator will be able to help the client understand key
differences between both options.

As you may already know, one of the most
common questions for someone exploring a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is, “What will
my Chapter 13 plan payment look like?”. After filling out forms and getting a
good idea of what their total income, expenses, allowable, etc. look like, the
client finally gets a decent estimate of their Chapter 13 plan payment. Our
free Chapter 13 bankruptcy estimates the debtors’ Chapter 13 plan payment using
the bankruptcy forms and the information they provided.

With regards to our Chapter 7 bankruptcy calculator,
folks are often looking to see if they may qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
While the means test has a few parts, our Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides the
debtor with an estimate of whether they are eligible to file a Chapter 7
bankruptcy.

How to Add a Chapter 13
Bankruptcy Calculator to Your WordPress Site?

The Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Calculator, as
stated before, is a great way for debtors to estimate what their Chapter 13
Plan Payment would be. When it comes to filing a Chapter 13, it’s imperative
that a debtor understands what their plan may look like, as it can help them
decide whether Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is right for them. These forms can take a
while to fill out, so utilizing a free calculator that uses the forms can be
beneficial to you and your clients.

Step 1:
Add/Edit a Post Covering Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

This will be the first step to adding the
Chapter 13 bankruptcy calculator to your WordPress site. Sometimes you can use
a plugin that will help you add this calculator to your site, but if you are in
doubt, you can import the code directly.

First, understand where you want to put the
calculator in the article. You can either add a new post that will be covering
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy or you can add it to an already existing potential high
traffic article. The article would most likely want to either cover Chapter 13
Bankruptcy or the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Repayment Plan.

Step 2:
Custom HTML Field

After the first steps, you will want to add a
custom HTML field. With this field, you will be able to use the code of the
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Calculator.

Step 3:
Import HTML Code for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Calculator

After adding a custom HTML field, you will
want to add the actual HTML code of the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Calculator. If
you have any issues, although I don’t imagine any, feel free to reach out to
support@tryascend.com. You can also reach out if you would like to customize
the URL and calculator.

HTML
Code to add:

Once you add the code above, you will want to
update/save the post and your Chapter 13 Plan Payment Calculator should
populate automatically.

Step 4:
Add Source of the Bankruptcy Calculator

Albeit a free calculator, to ensure the
correct attribution you will want to add the source of the calculator with a
link back.

To correctly attribute the source, you will
want to highlight the text you would like to source. After doing so, you will
click on the “chain link” symbol and add http://tryascend.com/ to the link.
Just to confirm that it worked correctly, you can click on the link after to
make sure it takes you to the correct place.

After doing all of the steps listed above, you
should now have a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy added to your WordPress site. This also
gives you the ability to differentiate yourself from the other bankruptcy
attorneys.

How to Add a Chapter 7
Bankruptcy Calculator to Your WordPress Site?

Similar to the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Calculator, the process of adding the Chapter 7 bankruptcy calculator is quite
simple. Many people choose this option because Chapter 7 is affordable. Understanding
whether a debtor may be able to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or not is
extremely important to their decision-making process.

Let’s go through the steps to set up the
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Calculator on your WordPress site:

Step 1:
Add/Edit a Post Covering Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

You will want to add a new post or find one of
your posts regarding Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, as you won’t want to necessarily add
this to your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy article.

Step 2:
Custom HTML Field

Just like the process for the Chapter 13
Bankruptcy Calculator, you will want a custom HTML field so that you can add
the code of the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Calculator.

Step 3:
Import HTML Code for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Calculator

After the second step, you will want to import
the code used for the Chapter 7 bankruptcy calculator.

HTML Code
to add:

Step 4:
Add Source of the Bankruptcy Calculator

Just like before, you will want to correctly
attribute the source to the calculator. You can do this by first, highlighting
the text you would like to use as the anchor. Second, you then want to click
the “chain link” button and link the anchor text to http://tryascend.com/. As
stated earlier, you can check to see if it was added correctly by clicking on
the text. Also, the bankruptcy calculator will provide bankruptcy
alternatives to bankruptcy which can help folks compare different
options.

Conclusion

It can be challenging to find new ways for
bankruptcy attorneys to differentiate themselves from other bankruptcy
attorneys. One way to do so is by providing free high-quality bankruptcy
calculators on their website to help individuals understand their options.

Bankruptcy can be an extremely stressful and
overwhelming process, so clients tend to appreciate something that provides
insight into their options with no obligation. Not only does the bankruptcy
calculator provide value to the consumer, but it also provides your website
with another means to potential bankruptcy leads.
