Calculate 5% of a months rent 


For this example, we are using the Tenancy Datasource. And we want the resulting output on the template to produce 5% of rent amount. 


Field - tenancy.totalRent

This field, will pull through the combined total rent for that tenancy.


Helper - moneyFmt

This helper formats the amount to UK £


Helper - divide

This helper divides


Parameter - by what number

This parameter works in conjunction with divide helper


By combining the above, we have the complete string as follows:


{{ moneyFmt (divide tenancy.totalRent 20) }}  


Example if tenancy.totalRent is £700 then result would be £35





Take the calculation one step further


By adding another helper to the field we can apply a complete calculation on the output of the document.


Helper - multiply

This helper multiplies


Parameter - by what number

This parameter works in conjunction with divide helper


The string example


{{ moneyFmt (divide (multiply tenancy.totalRent 105) 100) }}  


Example if tenancy.totalRent is £700 then result would be £735
