 * the basic calculation builder gives you the simple add subtract multiply and 
   divide, in groups.
 * The manual mode allows you to write your calculation strings which can be quite
   complex.
 * The loan calculator example : [http://docs.calderaforms.com/loan-calculator/](http://docs.calderaforms.com/loan-calculator/)
   for example uses the following manual calculation:
 * `%loan_amount% * ( ( %rate% / ( 12 * 100 ) ) / ( 1 - pow( ( 1+ ( %rate% / ( 12*
   100 ) ) ) , (-1 * %months% ) ) ) )`

 * is it possible to make the form fields fillable? So far your loan calculator 
   example does not show how this is possible. It does provide me with the information
   on equations I need to know, but the fillable aspect is missing. If having user
   input fillable fields is possible, this will make Caldera the form plugin I’ve
   been looking for, for quite some time now.
 * Thanks!

 * Yes you can. In the equation the %loan_amount% refers to a field slug, which 
   can be any field at all. Even a text input. the %slug% is a placeholder for the
   inputted value to be used.

 * Ok thats fantastic, thanks! Just trying to get a feel for the plugin, when I 
   input a %slug% (eg. %Expenditures%) this will allow a user to input any value
   they require?
 * And for slider bars, I can use those more as a visual than a simple fill-in box,
   what slug would I use for that?
 * I’m a complete novice at this. I can figure it out if I have a guide, but I haven’t
   found one per say for your plug in. I hope I’m not imposing too much.

 * Perhaps an idea about what I’m trying to do may make things less confusing.
 * Here is a link to the first part of my calculator:

 * each field that is a dollar amount needs to be user customizable.
