If a soldier was given a bounty of £50 in 1712 what would the equivalent in todays money be. Also if he was given 1 shilling each day on leaving the army how much is a shilling worth today.
I thought there was some sort of conversion website, but I cannot find it, thank you for any help.

This website is in dollars and based on US inflation history so is only a rough guide but try it anyway.
