Embed the CRM Annual Cost Calculator

The calculator models users, monthly seat price, add-ons, onboarding, migration, and discounts. It shows first-year cost, recurring annual cost, monthly equivalent, and per-user cost.

This responsive code validates resize messages from riaselect.com and never receives calculator inputs. If your CMS removes scripts, use the fixed-height fallback in the downloadable pack. The tracked embed URL lets GA4 distinguish publisher installs from ordinary direct visits; no calculator inputs are transmitted.

Do not resell the calculator, remove attribution, or imply endorsement by RIA LLC.
