Vorlage:US$

US$

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "US$", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the United States dollar article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.

Usage

{{US$|value}}

Example:

• {{US$}} → US$
• {{US$|123.45}} → US$123,45

Link

The parameter |link=yes may be used to link US$ to the article United States dollar. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.

Example:

• {{US$|123.45|link=yes}} → US$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 1800 ≤ year < 2016), the equivalent value represented in 2016 dollars will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.

• {{US$|value|year}}
• {{US$|value|year|round=round|about=yes}}

Examples:

• {{US$|100|1799}} → US$100
• {{US$|100|1800}} → US$100 (equivalent to $1.411 in 2016)
• {{US$|100|1966}} → US$100 (equivalent to $73.815 in 2016)
• {{US$|100|1966|link=yes}} → US$100 (equivalent to $73.815 in 2016)
• {{US$|100|2015}} → US$100 (equivalent to $10.104 in 2016)
• {{US$|100|2016}} → US$100
• {{US$|100|2024}} → US$100
• {{US$|100|2025}} → US$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:

• {{US$|10|1935}} → US$10 (equivalent to $17.468 in 2016)
• {{US$|10|1935|round=0}} → US$10 (equivalent to $175 in 2016)
• {{US$|10|1935|about=yes}} → US$10 (equivalent to about $175 in 2016)
• {{US$|1000|1935|round=2}} → US$1.000 (equivalent to $1.746.845 in 2016)
• {{US$|1000|1935|round=-2}} → US$1.000 (equivalent to $17.500 in 2016)
• {{US$|1000|1935|round=-2|about=yes}} → US$1.000 (equivalent to about $17.500 in 2016)
