I have a text box that will have a currency string in it that I then need to convert that string to a double to perform some operations on it.
"$1,100.00" → 1100.00
This needs to occur all client side. I have no choice but to leave the currency string as a currency string as input but need to cast/convert it to a double to allow some mathematical operations.
Remove all non dot / digits:
var currency = "-$4,400.50";
var number = Number(currency.replace(/[^0-9.-]+/g,""));
accounting.js is the way to go. I used it at a project and had very good experience using it.
accounting.formatMoney(4999.99, "€", 2, ".", ","); // €4.999,99
accounting.unformat("€ 1.000.000,00", ","); // 1000000
You can find it at GitHub
Use a regex to remove the formating (dollar and comma), and use parseFloat to convert the string to a floating point number.`
var currency = "$1,100.00";
currency.replace(/[$,]+/g,"");
var result = parseFloat(currency) + .05;
I know this is an old question but wanted to give an additional option.
The jQuery Globalize gives the ability to parse a culture specific format to a float.
https://github.com/jquery/globalize
Given a string "$13,042.00", and Globalize set to en-US:
Globalize.culture("en-US");
You can parse the float value out like so:
var result = Globalize.parseFloat(Globalize.format("$13,042.00", "c"));
This will give you:
13042.00
And allows you to work with other cultures.
I know this is an old question, but CMS's answer seems to have one tiny little flaw: it only works if currency format uses "." as decimal separator.
For example, if you need to work with russian rubles, the string will look like this:
"1 000,00 rub."
My solution is far less elegant than CMS's, but it should do the trick.
var currency = "1 000,00 rub."; //it works for US-style currency strings as well
var cur_re = /\D*(\d+|\d.*?\d)(?:\D+(\d{2}))?\D*$/;
var parts = cur_re.exec(currency);
var number = parseFloat(parts[1].replace(/\D/,'')+'.'+(parts[2]?parts[2]:'00'));
console.log(number.toFixed(2));
Assumptions:
currency value uses decimal notation
there are no digits in the string that are not a part of the currency value
currency value contains either 0 or 2 digits in its fractional part *
The regexp can even handle something like "1,999 dollars and 99 cents", though it isn't an intended feature and it should not be relied upon.
Hope this will help someone.
This example run ok
var currency = "$1,123,456.00";
var number = Number(currency.replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g,""));
console.log(number);
For anyone looking for a solution in 2021 you can use Currency.js.
After much research this was the most reliable method I found for production, I didn't have any issues so far. In addition it's very active on Github.
currency(123); // 123.00
currency(1.23); // 1.23
currency("1.23") // 1.23
currency("$12.30") // 12.30
var value = currency("123.45");
currency(value); // 123.45
typescript
import currency from "currency.js";
currency("$12.30").value; // 12.30
This is my function. Works with all currencies..
function toFloat(num) {
dotPos = num.indexOf('.');

You can try this
var str = "$1,112.12";
str = str.replace(",", "");
str = str.replace("$", "");
console.log(parseFloat(str));
let thousands_seps = '.';
let decimal_sep = ',';
let sanitizeValue = "R$ 2.530,55".replace(thousands_seps,'')
.replace(decimal_sep,'.')
.replace(/[^0-9.-]+/, '');
// Converting to float
// Result 2530.55
let stringToFloat = parseFloat(sanitizeValue);
// Formatting for currency: "R$ 2.530,55"
// BRL in this case
let floatTocurrency = Number(stringToFloat).toLocaleString('pt-BR', {style: 'currency', currency: 'BRL'});
// Output
console.log(stringToFloat, floatTocurrency);
I know you've found a solution to your question, I just wanted to recommend that maybe you look at the following more extensive jQuery plugin for International Number Formats:
International Number Formatter
How about simply
Number(currency.replace(/[^0-9-]+/g,""))/100;
Works with all currencies and locales. replaces all non-numeric chars (you can have €50.000,00 or $50,000.00) input must have 2 decimal places
jQuery.preferCulture("en-IN");
var price = jQuery.format(39.00, "c");
output is: Rs. 39.00
use jquery.glob.js,
jQuery.glob.all.js
Here's a simple function -
function getNumberFromCurrency(currency) {
return Number(currency.replace(/[$,]/g,''))
}
console.log(getNumberFromCurrency('$1,000,000.99')) // 1000000.99
For currencies that use the ',' separator mentioned by Quethzel Diaz
Currency is in Brazilian.
var currency_br = "R$ 1.343,45";
currency_br = currency_br.replace('.', "").replace(',', '.');
var number_formated = Number(currency_br.replace(/[^0-9.-]+/g,""));
var parseCurrency = function (e) {
if (typeof (e) === 'number') return e;
if (typeof (e) === 'string') {
var str = e.trim();
var value = Number(e.replace(/[^0-9.-]+/g, ""));
return str.startsWith('(') && str.endsWith(')') ? -value: value;
}
return e;
}
This worked for me and covers most edge cases :)

Such a headache and so less consideration to other cultures for nothing...
here it is folks:
let floatPrice = parseFloat(price.replace(/(,|\.)([0-9]{3})/g,'$2').replace(/(,|\.)/,'.'));
as simple as that.
$ 150.00
Fr. 150.00
€ 689.00
I have tested for above three currency symbols .You can do it for others also.
var price = Fr. 150.00;
var priceFloat = price.replace(/[^\d\.]/g, '');
Above regular expression will remove everything that is not a digit or a period.So You can get the string without currency symbol but in case of " Fr. 150.00 " if you console for output then you will get price as
console.log('priceFloat : '+priceFloat);
output will be like priceFloat : .150.00
which is wrong so you check the index of "." then split that and get the proper result.
if (priceFloat.indexOf('.') == 0) {
priceFloat = parseFloat(priceFloat.split('.')[1]);
}else{
priceFloat = parseFloat(priceFloat);
}
function NumberConvertToDecimal (number) {
if (number == 0) {
return '0.00';
}
number = parseFloat(number);
number = number.toFixed(2).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+(?!\d))/g, "$1");
number = number.split('.').join('*').split('*').join('.');
return number;
}
This function should work whichever the locale and currency settings :
function getNumPrice(price, decimalpoint) {
var p = price.split(decimalpoint);
for (var i=0;i<p.length;i++) p[i] = p[i].replace(/\D/g,'');
return p.join('.');
}
This assumes you know the decimal point character (in my case the locale is set from PHP, so I get it with <?php echo cms_function_to_get_decimal_point(); ?>).
You should be able to handle this using vanilla JS. The Internationalization API is part of JS core: ECMAScript Internationalization API

This answer worked for me: How to format numbers as currency strings
I am validating a decimal number using JavaScript.
Am just using NaN
var a = 12345.67
Is there any javascript function to get the count or the value itself before and after decimal point .
before() should return 1234
after() should return 67
Please dont suggest a substring!
var a = 12345.67;
alert(a.toString().split(".")[0]); ///before
alert(a.toString().split(".")[1]); ///after
Here is a simple fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/qWtSc/
zzzzBov's suggestion is this
Number.prototype.before = function () {
var value = parseInt(this.toString().split(".")[0], 10);//before
return value ? value : 0;
}
Number.prototype.after = function () {
var value = parseInt(this.toString().split(".")[1], 10);//after
return value ? value : 0;
}
Usage
alert(a.before()); ///before
alert(a.after()); ///after
before is easy. It's just a round down operation.
var before = function(n) {
return Math.floor(n);
};
after is harder without string processing. I mean how would you handle after(Math.PI)? You can't hold a integer with an infinite number of digits after all.
But with some string processing it's easy, just know it won't be exact due to the wonders of floating point math.
var after = function(n) {
var fraction = n.toString().split('.')[1];
return parseInt(fraction, 10);
};
Playing off of other answers... and you wanted a 'numeric' version.. still easiest to convert it to a string and work off the split function...
function getNatural(num) {
return parseFloat(num.toString().split(".")[0]);
}
function getDecimal(num) {
return parseFloat(num.toString().split(".")[1]);

var decimalPlaces = 2;
var num = 12345.673
var roundedDecimal = num.toFixed(decimalPlaces);
var intPart = Math.floor(roundedDecimal);
var fracPart = parseInt((roundedDecimal - intPart), 10);
//or
var fractPart = (roundedDecimal - intPart) * Math.pow(10, decimalPlaces);
To find the count/length of characters after dot:
var a = 12345.67;
var after_dot = (a.toString().split(".")[1]).length;
var before_dot= (a.toString().split(".")[0]).length;
Unfortunately there's no way to get the factional part in a reliable way using math functions, because pretty odd roundings often occur, depending on the Javascript engine used.
The best thing to do is to convert it to a string, and then checking if the results is in decimal or scientific notation.
Number.prototype.after = function() {
var string = this.toString();
var epos = string.indexOf("e");
if (epos === -1) { // Decimal notation
var i = string.indexOf(".");
return i === -1 ? "" : n.substring(i + 1);
}
// Scientific notation
var exp = string.substring(epos + 1) - 0; // this is actually faster
// than parseInt in many browsers
var mantix = n.string.substring(0, epos).replace(".", "");
if (exp >= -1) return mantix.substring(exp + 1);
for (; exp < -1; exp++) mantix = "0" + mantix;
return mantix;
}
If your digits after decimal point are fixed, then this solution works without converting to string.
This example shows a solution for 2 digits after decimal.
Before decimal:
const wholeNum = Math.floor(num);
After decimal:
let decimal = (num - wholeNum) * 100
I am trying to split binary number in half and then just add 4 zeroes.
For example for 10111101 I want to end up with only the first half of the number and make the rest of the number zeroes. What I want to end up would be 10110000.
Can you help me with this?
Use substring to split and then looping to pad
var str = '10111101';
var output = str.substring( 0, str.length/2 );
for ( var counter = 0; counter < str.length/2; counter++ )
{
output += "0";
}
alert(output)
try this (one-liner)
var binary_str = '10111101';
var padded_binary = binary_str.slice(0, binary_str.length/2) + new Array(binary_str.length/2+1).join('0');
console.log([binary_str,padded_binary]);
sample output
['10111101','10110000']
I guess you are using JavaScript...
"10111101".substr(0, 4) + "0000";
It's a bit unclear if you are trying to operate on numbers or strings. The answers already given do a good job of showing how to operate on a strings. If you want to operate with numbers only, you can do something like:
// count the number of leading 0s in a 32-bit word
function nlz32 (word) {
var count;
for (count = 0; count < 32; count ++) {
if (word & (1 << (31 - count))) {
break;
}
}
return count;
}
function zeroBottomHalf (num) {
var digits = 32 - nlz32(num); // count # of digits in num
var half = Math.floor(digits / 2);// how many to set to 0
var lowerMask = (1 << half) - 1; //mask for lower bits: 0b00001111
var upperMask = ~lowerMask //mask for upper bits: 0b11110000
return num & upperMask;
}
var before = 0b10111101;
var after = zeroBottomHalf(before);
console.log('before = ', before.toString(2)); // outputs: 10111101
console.log('after = ', after.toString(2)); // outputs: 10110000
In practice, it is probably simplest to covert your number to a string with num.toString(2), then operate on it like a string as in one of the other answers. At the end you can convert back to a number with parseInt(str, 2)
If you have a real number, not string, then just use binary arithmetic. Assuming your number is always 8 binary digits long - your question is kinda vague on that - it'd be simply:
console.log((0b10111101 & 0b11110000).toString(2))
// 10110000
I'm trying to make a text field so that if there's a number 153.254, that becomes 153.25. And if the field contains 154.2, an extra 0 is added to fill two spots after decimal; 154.20.
toFixed() works great but I don't want the number rounded. Also came across other solutions where if I'm typing in 1.40, then if I move the cursor back after 1, I can't type anything in unless I clear the field and start over.
Is there a simple jQuery way to limit two characters after a decimal, and then if there's only one character after the decimal, add a zero to fill the two character limit?
(The field may receive value from database that's why the second part is required)
Solution Update: For those interested, I put this together to achieve what I wanted (Thanks to answers below and also other questions here on stackoverflow)

this.value = parseFloat(this.value).toFixed(3).slice(0, -1);

var r4 = r3.toFixed(2);
var hDiff = number - h;

obj[hDiff] = h;
obj[r4Diff] = r4;
