This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "A$", for many situations. The template can also link to the Australian dollar article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.
Usage
{{AUD|value}}
Example:
{{AUD}}
→ A${{AUD|123.45}}
→ A$123.45
Link
The parameter |link=yes
may be used to link A$ 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$123.45
Inflation calculation
Do 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. |
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$100
Additional 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)
