The Utility Maximization Calculator is an interactive tool designed to help users determine the optimal consumption bundle that maximizes utility given a budget constraint. This tool applies the principles of consumer choice theory, where consumers aim to maximize their satisfaction (utility) subject to their income and prices of goods. Users can input data such as utility functions, prices of goods, and income, and the tool calculates the optimal quantities of each good to consume.

This tool is ideal for economics students, researchers, educators, and anyone interested in understanding how consumers make rational decisions under constraints.

Key Features:

1. Interactive Inputs : Users can input values for utility functions, prices of goods, and income.
2. Dynamic Calculations : Automatically calculates the optimal consumption bundle using marginal utility per dollar and budget constraints.
3. Visualizations : Displays indifference curves and budget lines to illustrate utility maximization.
4. Scenario Simulation : Allows users to simulate changes in prices or income and observe their effects on consumption choices.
5. PDF Download Option : Users can download a summary of their results, including the calculated optimal bundle and visualizations, in PDF format.
6. Modern Design : A colorful, stylish, and modern interface that integrates seamlessly into your WordPress Elementor HTML block.
7. Self-Contained Container : The tool stays within its own container, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with the page header or footer.

Use Cases:

• Economics students learning about consumer choice theory and utility maximization.
• Researchers analyzing consumer behavior under different budget constraints.
• Educators demonstrating how utility maximization works in classrooms.
• General users exploring how changes in prices or income affect their consumption decisions.

How It Works:

1. The user inputs variables such as utility function parameters, prices of two goods, and income.
2. The tool calculates the optimal consumption bundle by equating the marginal utility per dollar spent on each good.
3. Visualizations are generated to display indifference curves and the budget line.
4. Users can simulate changes in prices or income and observe how the optimal bundle shifts.
5. Users can download a summary of the results, including the optimal bundle and visualizations, as a PDF by clicking the “Download PDF” button.
