| This is a documentation subpage for Template:CAD. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "CA$", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the Canadian dollar article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.
Usage
{{CA$|value}}
Example:
{{CA$}}→ CA${{CA$|123.45}}→ CA$123.45
Link
The parameter |link=yes may be used to link CA$ to the article Canadian dollar. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.
Example:
{{CA$|123.45|link=yes}}→ CA$123.45
Inflation calculation
Do not assume that using this template will mean that a calculated value is "current", "as of 2025", "as of 2024" or even necessarily "recent". Do not use {{CURRENTYEAR}} to refer to calculated value, instead {{Inflation-year|CA}} may be used. See also MOS:REALTIME. |
The template supports inflation calculation, by way of {{Inflation}}. If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, if 1914 ≤ year < 2018), the equivalent value represented in 2018 dollars will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.
Examples:
{{CA$|100|1913}}→ CA$100{{CA$|100|1914}}→ CA$100 (equivalent to $2,223 in 2018){{CA$|100|1966}}→ CA$100 (equivalent to $762.29 in 2018){{CA$|100|1966|link=yes}}→ CA$100 (equivalent to $762.29 in 2018){{CA$|100|2017}}→ CA$100 (equivalent to $102.3 in 2018){{CA$|100|2018}}→ CA$100{{CA$|100|2025}}→ CA$100{{CA$|100|2026}}→ CA$100
Additional parameter |about=yes will cause the template to calculate to the nearest dollar (instead of the nearest cent), and prefix the calculated value with "about". The rounding can be fine-tuned further by using |round=integer. These parameters may be combined.
Examples:
{{CA$|10|1935}}→ CA$10 (equivalent to $182.74 in 2018){{CA$|10|1935|round=0}}→ CA$10 (equivalent to $183 in 2018){{CA$|10|1935|about=yes}}→ CA$10 (equivalent to about $183 in 2018){{CA$|1000|1935|round=2}}→ CA$1,000 (equivalent to $18,273.97 in 2018){{CA$|1000|1935|round=-2}}→ CA$1,000 (equivalent to $18,300 in 2018){{CA$|1000|1935|round=-2|about=yes}}→ CA$1,000 (equivalent to about $18,300 in 2018)
