Training ROI Calculator for LearnDash: Cost Savings and Lead Capture

You sell online training, but prospects do not know how much they are spending on in-person alternatives — or how much they would save by switching. The GLCT Training Calculator puts a public-facing ROI tool on your site that quantifies the value of your platform and captures leads in the process.

What It Does

Embed an interactive calculator on any page with a shortcode. Visitors enter their team size, training frequency, and current per-training costs. The calculator shows total annual spend, projected savings with online training, and ROI. Then it captures their contact info as a qualified lead.

Key Features

Interactive Cost Calculator

Visitors input their team size, training frequency, and per-training costs. The calculator runs the math in real time — showing total annual in-person spend, online training costs, and net savings.

LearnDash Course Picker

Pull courses directly from your LearnDash catalog. Visitors browse available courses, see training hours and pricing, and factor them into their ROI calculation. It is a product demo embedded in a calculator.

AI-Powered Savings Analysis

Connect Claude (Anthropic) to generate a written savings summary based on the visitor’s inputs. The AI produces a personalized paragraph explaining their projected savings, making the value tangible and shareable.

Built-In Lead Capture

After the calculation, visitors enter their name, email, and agency or company. The lead is stored in your WordPress database and triggers an email notification to your sales team. No separate form plugin needed.

Customizable Fields and Labels

Show or hide any input section. Customize labels, help text, and section titles. Adapt the calculator for different industries — law enforcement, corporate, education — without code changes.

Post-Calculation Redirect

After lead capture, redirect visitors to a custom page — a pricing page, a demo booking link, or a thank-you page with next steps.

Who It Is For

  • Training organizations selling online courses to businesses
  • Law enforcement academies demonstrating POSTC training cost savings
  • EdTech companies that need a sales tool on their marketing site
  • Corporate L&D vendors competing against in-person training providers

Requirements

  • LearnDash LMS (recommended, for course catalog integration)
  • LearnDash Group Leader Course Toggle (GLCT) plugin
  • Optional: Anthropic Claude API key (for AI-generated insights)
