A$
Relevant discussion at | → Template talk:Currency#Suggestions for a standard set of options for each template |
This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "A$", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the Australian dollar article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.
((AUD|value))
Example:
((AUD))
→ A$((AUD|123.45))
→ A$123.45The parameter |link=yes
may be used to link A$ to the article Australian dollar. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.
Example:
((AUD|123.45|link=yes))
→ A$123.45Do not assume that using this template will mean that a calculated value is "current", "as of 2024", "as of 2023" or even necessarily "recent". Do not use ((CURRENTYEAR)) to refer to calculated value, instead ((Inflation/year|AU)) may be used. See also MOS:REALTIME. |
The template supports inflation calculation, by way of ((Inflation))
. If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, if 1850 ≤ year
< 2022), the equivalent value represented in 2022 dollars will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.
Examples:
((AUD|100|1849))
→ A$100((AUD|100|1850))
→ A$100 (equivalent to $7,925 in 2022)((AUD|100|1966))
→ A$100 (equivalent to $1,476 in 2022)((AUD|100|1966|link=yes))
→ A$100 (equivalent to $1,476 in 2022)((AUD|100|2021))
→ A$100 (equivalent to $106.59 in 2022)((AUD|100|2022))
→ A$100((AUD|100|2024))
→ A$100((AUD|100|2025))
→ A$100Additional parameter |about=yes
will cause the template to calculate to the nearest dollar (instead of the nearest cent), and prefix the calculated value with "about". The rounding can be fine-tuned further by using |round=integer
. These parameters may be combined.
Examples:
((AUD|10|1935))
→ A$10 (equivalent to $547.07 in 2022)((AUD|10|1935|round=0))
→ A$10 (equivalent to $547 in 2022)((AUD|10|1935|about=yes))
→ A$10 (equivalent to about $547 in 2022)((AUD|1000|1935|round=2))
→ A$1,000 (equivalent to $54,706.65 in 2022)((AUD|1000|1935|round=-2))
→ A$1,000 (equivalent to $54,700 in 2022)((AUD|1000|1935|round=-2|about=yes))
→ A$1,000 (equivalent to about $54,700 in 2022)
