Housing Affordability Calculator "Housing for Life"

The calculator estimates your monthly repayment, required income, running-cost reserve and possible regional support. The result is indicative and does not replace an assessment of your application.

Technically, it is a standalone application embedded in the page via an iframe – in the administration, the editor only enters its address and frame height. A supplier's calculator is embedded here in the same way.

How the calculator is connected

The calculator is a standalone application embedded via an iframe – the editor only sets its address and frame height, nothing is programmed. A supplier's calculator is embedded the same way: just update the address and publish. The only limitation is on the side of the external application – its operator can block embedding with the X-Frame-Options header. This is also the case for the "Housing for Life" calculator on mmr.gov.cz, which sends X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN, so browsers will not display it on another website. There are then three options: ask the operator to allow our domain, link to the calculator instead, or host your own calculator – as we do here.
