৳
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.
((BDT|value))
Example:
((BDT))
→ ৳((BDT|123.45))
→ ৳123.45The 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))
→ ৳123.45Do 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|BD)) may be used. See also MOS: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 1986 ≤ year
< 2022), the equivalent value represented in 2022 taka will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.
Examples:
((BDT|100|1985))
→ ৳100((BDT|100|1986))
→ ৳100 (equivalent to ৳889.04 in 2022)((BDT|100|1990))
→ ৳100 (equivalent to ৳669.33 in 2022)((BDT|100|1990|link=yes))
→ ৳100 (equivalent to ৳669.33 in 2022)((BDT|100|2021))
→ ৳100 (equivalent to ৳107.69 in 2022)((BDT|100|2022))
→ ৳100((BDT|100|2024))
→ ৳100((BDT|100|2025))
→ ৳100Additional 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 ৳66.93 in 2022)((BDT|10|1990|round=0))
→ ৳10 (equivalent to ৳67 in 2022)((BDT|10|1990|about=yes))
→ ৳10 (equivalent to about ৳67 in 2022)((BDT|1000|1990|round=2))
→ ৳1,000 (equivalent to ৳6,693.33 in 2022)((BDT|1000|1990|round=-2))
→ ৳1,000 (equivalent to ৳6,700 in 2022)((BDT|1000|1990|round=-2|about=yes))
→ ৳1,000 (equivalent to about ৳6,700 in 2022)
