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
