Template:Bangladeshi taka/doc

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

Usage

{{BDT|value}}

Example:

• {{BDT}} → ৳
• {{BDT|123.45}} → ৳123.45

Link

The parameter |link=yes may be used to link ৳ to the article Bangladeshi taka. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.

Example:

• {{BDT|123.45|link=yes}} → ৳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 1986 ≤ year < 2023), the equivalent value represented in 2023 taka will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.

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

Examples:

• {{BDT|100|1985}} → ৳100
• {{BDT|100|1986}} → ৳100 (equivalent to ৳976.94 in 2023)
• {{BDT|100|1990}} → ৳100 (equivalent to ৳735.5 in 2023)
• {{BDT|100|1990|link=yes}} → ৳100 (equivalent to ৳735.5 in 2023)
• {{BDT|100|2022}} → ৳100 (equivalent to ৳109.89 in 2023)
• {{BDT|100|2023}} → ৳100
• {{BDT|100|2024}} → ৳100
• {{BDT|100|2025}} → ৳100

Additional parameter |about=yes will cause the template to calculate to the nearest taka (instead of the nearest poisha), and prefix the calculated value with "about". The rounding can be fine-tuned further by using |round=integer. These parameters may be combined.

Examples:

• {{BDT|10|1990}} → ৳10 (equivalent to ৳73.55 in 2023)
• {{BDT|10|1990|round=0}} → ৳10 (equivalent to ৳74 in 2023)
• {{BDT|10|1990|about=yes}} → ৳10 (equivalent to about ৳74 in 2023)
• {{BDT|1000|1990|round=2}} → ৳1,000 (equivalent to ৳7,355.04 in 2023)
• {{BDT|1000|1990|round=-2}} → ৳1,000 (equivalent to ৳7,400 in 2023)
• {{BDT|1000|1990|round=-2|about=yes}} → ৳1,000 (equivalent to about ৳7,400 in 2023)
