# Templates

Cost Calculator includes Templates mode with over 100 pre-made business-oriented booking forms and cost estimation calculators. You can now easily create your own custom templates from scratch or select one of our ready-to-use templates.

### Viewing Templates <a href="#viewing-form-templates" id="viewing-form-templates"></a>

Cost Calculator templates easily can be browsed from the WordPress admin dashboard. After logging into your WordPress admin, go to **Cost Calculator > Templates.** In the opened window, you will see a library of all the templates available in Cost Calculator:

{% hint style="info" %}
It is possible to customize any calculator using [Calculator Elements](/cost-calculator-builder/calculator-elements/general-overview.md).
{% endhint %}

### Custom Templates

After editing the calculator, you can save it as a template for further usage in different cases:

<figure><img src="/files/4X6G36gwWgVadsA5mYci" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
After saving the calculator as a template, this calculator **will be removed from the list of calculators**. Instead,  it will be displayed in the templates library as a custom template, and you can **create new calculators** using this template.
{% endhint %}

### FAQ: The WPML plugin is installed and all templates are gone <a href="#form-template-preview" id="form-template-preview"></a>

If you see the **empty** templates page after installing the [**WPML** ](https://wpml.org/)plugin, we suggest doing the following:

1. Follow **WP Dashboard > WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation** and find **Cost Calculator Templates:**

2. Mark it as **Not Translatable** and **Save** the changes:
