In campaigns where they are offered a choice of how they would like to engage the CU this the proportion choosing affordability calculator over a quote calculator.

This shows that users prefer the feedback it gives especially considering short online attention spans and the extra effort in filling out the longer form.

In markets where the affordability calculator is ranged we can see the average borrowing applied for increases substantially.
