Template:Per capita/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Calculate per capita value, given a statistic (e.g., GDP), population, country, and year.

Usage

[edit]
  • {{per capita|statistic|population|Country name|year}}
  • {{per capita|num=statistic|pop=population|country=Country name|year=yyyy|scale=scale}}

Parameters

[edit]

There are four required unnamed parameters, and one optional:

  • |1= – a number representing a currency-denominated statistic like GDP (without commas), and denominated in local currency. Alias: |num=.
  • |2= – population figure (without commas). Alias: |pop=.
  • |3= – either the full name of the country, e.g., 'Canada', or the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code ('CAN'). Alias: |country=.
  • |4= – four-digit year, in the range recognized by Template:To USD (last checked: 1960–2022). Alias: |year=.
  • |5= – scale factor of the statistic, expressed as a power of 10; i.e., if param 1 is GDP in millions, then scale = 6. Optional; default = 9 (billions). Alias: |scale=.

Examples

[edit]
  • {{per capita|8.148|202497|CAN|2021}} → 32,198.01
  • {{per capita|8.148|202497|Canada|2021}} → 32,198.01
  • {{per capita|8.148|202497|Canada|1975}} → 39,556.14
  • {{per capita|num=8.148|pop=202497|country=CAN|year=2021}} → 32,198.01
  • {{per capita|num=8148|pop=202497|country=CAN|year=2021|scale=6}} → 32,190.11 # note slight difference in value due to effects of rounding from a lower scale factor
