Put a figure on your own website

Five cards that update themselves, to paste into any web page, a picture of any page to share, calendar feeds that put the next change in your diary, and spreadsheets with this month’s figures in them. All free; each links back to its page here, and that’s all we ask.

Live cards for your website

Each card is a small frame that shows the current figure and updates itself when the source changes. Copy the code under a card and paste it into your page as it is. Fuel, dams and electricity cards work for any town, dam or distributor: open its page here and copy the code at the bottom.

Interest rates

The repo rate, prime and the prescribed rate, as announced and set by law. The interest rates page.
