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

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.

  • {{AUD|value|year}}
  • {{AUD|value|year|round=round|about=yes}}

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)
