→ 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 "Rs.", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the Pakistani rupee article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.

Usage

{{PKR|value}}

Example:

{{PKR}} → Rs.
{{PKR|123.45}} → Rs. 123.45

Link

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

Example:

{{PKR|123.45|link=yes}} → Rs. 123.45

Inflation calculation

This template is only capable of inflating Consumer Price Index values: staples, workers' rent, small service bills (doctor's costs, train tickets). This template is incapable of inflating capital expenses, government expenses, or the personal wealth and expenditure of the rich. Incorrect use of this template would constitute original research. If you yourself do not have economic training, then please consult someone who does before using this template.

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|PK}} 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 1960 ≤ year < 2021), the equivalent value represented in 2021 rupee will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.

{{PKR|value|year}}
{{PKR|value|year|round=round|about=yes}}

Examples:

{{PKR|100|1959}} → Rs. 100
{{PKR|100|1960}} → Rs. 100 (equivalent to Rs. 10,573 in 2021)
{{PKR|100|1966}} → Rs. 100 (equivalent to Rs. 8,739 in 2021)
{{PKR|100|1966|link=yes}} → Rs. 100 (equivalent to Rs. 8,739 in 2021)
{{PKR|100|2020}} → Rs. 100 (equivalent to Rs. 109.5 in 2021)
{{PKR|100|2021}} → Rs. 100
{{PKR|100|2024}} → Rs. 100
{{PKR|100|2025}} → Rs. 100

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

Examples:

{{PKR|10|1990}} → Rs. 10 (equivalent to Rs. 122.73 in 2021)
{{PKR|10|1990|round=0}} → Rs. 10 (equivalent to Rs. 123 in 2021)
{{PKR|10|1990|about=yes}} → Rs. 10 (equivalent to about Rs. 123 in 2021)
{{PKR|1000|1990|round=2}} → Rs. 1,000 (equivalent to Rs. 12,273.39 in 2021)
{{PKR|1000|1990|round=-2}} → Rs. 1,000 (equivalent to Rs. 12,300 in 2021)
{{PKR|1000|1990|round=-2|about=yes}} → Rs. 1,000 (equivalent to about Rs. 12,300 in 2021)
