Template:Australian dollar
A$
![]() | →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$", as recommended byMOS:CURRENCYfor many situations. The template can also link to theAustralian dollararticle and can even calculate inflation.See warnings below.
Usage
{{AUD|value}}
Example:
{{AUD}}
→A${{AUD|123.45}}
→A$123.45
Link
The parameter|link=yes
may be used to link A$ to the articleAustralian 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. See alsoMOS: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$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)
