Tudor times covers a period of almost 120 years from 1485 to 1603.

2 Shillings in 1540 had the purchasing power of about £43.20 GBP today.

NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.

What were taxes in Tudor times?

All I know is that King Henry VIII made outrageous taxes. so there is no doubt that he would demand at least 60 shillings or more? If £5.00 was a lot of money in World War 2, then 60 shillings (£3.00) would be an awful lot of money. I think that he would price his money there-ish.I hope this is somehow useful, but it isn't accurate.From,Anonymous
