When to use a quiz vs calculator

Use a quiz when you're deciding between options: - Which Marbella zone fits me best? - Am I eligible for Beckham Law? - What buyer persona am I? - What budget tier should I target? - Which visa route fits my situation? - How should I plan inheritance?

Use a calculator when you need exact numbers: - How much mortgage can I get? - How much tax will Beckham save me? - What's the realistic rental yield? - How much cash do I need at closing? - What's the annual holding cost?
