How to format numbers as currency strings

Viewed 2554673

I would like to format a price in JavaScript. I'd like a function which takes a float as an argument and returns a string formatted like this:

"$ 2,500.00"

How can I do this?

Number.prototype.toFixed

This solution is compatible with every single major browser:

  const profits = 2489.8237;

  profits.toFixed(3) // Returns 2489.824 (rounds up)
  profits.toFixed(2) // Returns 2489.82
  profits.toFixed(7) // Returns 2489.8237000 (pads the decimals)

All you need is to add the currency symbol (e.g. "$" + profits.toFixed(2)) and you will have your amount in dollars.

Custom function

If you require the use of , between each digit, you can use this function:

function formatMoney(number, decPlaces, decSep, thouSep) {
    decPlaces = isNaN(decPlaces = Math.abs(decPlaces)) ? 2 : decPlaces,
    decSep = typeof decSep === "undefined" ? "." : decSep;
    thouSep = typeof thouSep === "undefined" ? "," : thouSep;
    var sign = number < 0 ? "-" : "";
    var i = String(parseInt(number = Math.abs(Number(number) || 0).toFixed(decPlaces)));
    var j = (j = i.length) > 3 ? j % 3 : 0;

    return sign +
        (j ? i.substr(0, j) + thouSep : "") +
        i.substr(j).replace(/(\decSep{3})(?=\decSep)/g, "$1" + thouSep) +
        (decPlaces ? decSep + Math.abs(number - i).toFixed(decPlaces).slice(2) : "");
}

document.getElementById("b").addEventListener("click", event => {
  document.getElementById("x").innerText = "Result was: " + formatMoney(document.getElementById("d").value);
});
<label>Insert your amount: <input id="d" type="text" placeholder="Cash amount" /></label>
<br />
<button id="b">Get Output</button>
<p id="x">(press button to get output)</p>

Use it like so:

(123456789.12345).formatMoney(2, ".", ",");

If you're always going to use '.' and ',', you can leave them off your method call, and the method will default them for you.

(123456789.12345).formatMoney(2);

If your culture has the two symbols flipped (i.e., Europeans) and you would like to use the defaults, just paste over the following two lines in the formatMoney method:

    d = d == undefined ? "," : d,
    t = t == undefined ? "." : t,

Custom function (ES6)

If you can use modern ECMAScript syntax (i.e., through Babel), you can use this simpler function instead:

function formatMoney(amount, decimalCount = 2, decimal = ".", thousands = ",") {
  try {
    decimalCount = Math.abs(decimalCount);
    decimalCount = isNaN(decimalCount) ? 2 : decimalCount;

    const negativeSign = amount < 0 ? "-" : "";

    let i = parseInt(amount = Math.abs(Number(amount) || 0).toFixed(decimalCount)).toString();
    let j = (i.length > 3) ? i.length % 3 : 0;

    return
      negativeSign +
      (j ? i.substr(0, j) + thousands : '') +
      i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, "$1" + thousands) +
      (decimalCount ? decimal + Math.abs(amount - i).toFixed(decimalCount).slice(2) : "");
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e)
  }
};

document.getElementById("b").addEventListener("click", event => {
  document.getElementById("x").innerText = "Result was: " + formatMoney(document.getElementById("d").value);
});
<label>Insert your amount: <input id="d" type="text" placeholder="Cash amount" /></label>
<br />
<button id="b">Get Output</button>
<p id="x">(press button to get output)</p>

Take a look at the JavaScript Number object and see if it can help you.

  • toLocaleString() will format a number using location specific thousands separator.
  • toFixed() will round the number to a specific number of decimal places.

To use these at the same time the value must have its type changed back to a number because they both output a string.

Example:

Number((someNumber).toFixed(1)).toLocaleString()

EDIT

One can just use toLocaleString directly and its not necessary to recast to a number:

someNumber.toLocaleString(undefined, {minimumFractionDigits: 2, maximumFractionDigits: 2});

Multiple numbers

If you need to frequently format numbers similarly you can create a specific object for reuse. Like for German (Switzerland):

const money = new Intl.NumberFormat('de-CH',
  { style:'currency', currency: 'CHF' });
const percent = new Intl.NumberFormat('de-CH',
  { style:'percent', maximumFractionDigits: 1, signDisplay: "always"});

which than can be used as:

money.format(1234.50); // output CHF 1'234.50
percent.format(0.083);  // output +8.3%

Pretty nifty.

Ok, based on what you said, I'm using this:

var DecimalSeparator = Number("1.2").toLocaleString().substr(1,1);

var AmountWithCommas = Amount.toLocaleString();
var arParts = String(AmountWithCommas).split(DecimalSeparator);
var intPart = arParts[0];
var decPart = (arParts.length > 1 ? arParts[1] : '');
decPart = (decPart + '00').substr(0,2);

return '£ ' + intPart + DecimalSeparator + decPart;

I'm open to improvement suggestions (I'd prefer not to include YUI just to do this :-) )

I already know I should be detecting the "." instead of just using it as the decimal separator...

just use the native javascript Intl

you just use the options to format its value

const number = 1233445.5678
console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', { style: 'currency', currency: 'USD' }).format(number));

mozilla documentation link

The following is concise, easy to understand, and doesn't rely on any overly complicated regular expressions.

function moneyFormat(price, sign = '$') {
  const pieces = parseFloat(price).toFixed(2).split('')
  let ii = pieces.length - 3
  while ((ii-=3) > 0) {
    pieces.splice(ii, 0, ',')
  }
  return sign + pieces.join('')
}

console.log(
  moneyFormat(100),
  moneyFormat(1000),
  moneyFormat(10000.00),
  moneyFormat(1000000000000000000)
)

Here is a version with more options in the final output to allow formatting different currencies in different locality formats.

// higher order function that takes options then a price and will return the formatted price
const makeMoneyFormatter = ({
  sign = '$',
  delimiter = ',',
  decimal = '.',
  append = false,
  precision = 2,
  round = true,
  custom
} = {}) => value => {

  const e = [1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000]

  value = round
    ? (Math.round(value * e[precision]) / e[precision])
    : parseFloat(value)

  const pieces = value
    .toFixed(precision)
    .replace('.', decimal)
    .split('')

  let ii = pieces.length - (precision ? precision + 1 : 0)

  while ((ii-=3) > 0) {
    pieces.splice(ii, 0, delimiter)
  }

  if (typeof custom === 'function') {
    return custom({
      sign,
      float: value,
      value: pieces.join('')
    })
  }

  return append
    ? pieces.join('') + sign
    : sign + pieces.join('')
}

// create currency converters with the correct formatting options
const formatDollar = makeMoneyFormatter()
const formatPound = makeMoneyFormatter({
  sign: '£',
  precision: 0
})
const formatEuro = makeMoneyFormatter({
  sign: '€',
  delimiter: '.',
  decimal: ',',
  append: true
})

const customFormat = makeMoneyFormatter({
  round: false,
  custom: ({ value, float, sign }) => `SALE:$${value}USD`
})

console.log(
  formatPound(1000),
  formatDollar(10000.0066),
  formatEuro(100000.001),
  customFormat(999999.555)
)

The main part is inserting the thousand-separators, and that could be done like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function ins1000Sep(val) {
    val = val.split(".");
    val[0] = val[0].split("").reverse().join("");
    val[0] = val[0].replace(/(\d{3})/g, "$1,");
    val[0] = val[0].split("").reverse().join("");
    val[0] = val[0].indexOf(",") == 0 ? val[0].substring(1) : val[0];
    return val.join(".");
  }

  function rem1000Sep(val) {
    return val.replace(/,/g, "");
  }

  function formatNum(val) {
    val = Math.round(val*100)/100;
    val = ("" + val).indexOf(".") > -1 ? val + "00" : val + ".00";
    var dec = val.indexOf(".");
    return dec == val.length-3 || dec == 0 ? val : val.substring(0, dec+3);
  }
</script>

<button onclick="alert(ins1000Sep(formatNum(12313231)));">

Please try the below code

"250000".replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, '$1,');

Ans: 250,000

Patrick Desjardins' answer looks good, but I prefer my JavaScript code simple. Here's a function I just wrote to take a number in and return it in currency format (minus the dollar sign):

// Format numbers to two decimals with commas
function formatDollar(num) {
    var p = num.toFixed(2).split(".");
    var chars = p[0].split("").reverse();
    var newstr = '';
    var count = 0;
    for (x in chars) {
        count++;
        if(count%3 == 1 && count != 1) {
            newstr = chars[x] + ',' + newstr;
        } else {
            newstr = chars[x] + newstr;
        }
    }
    return newstr + "." + p[1];
}
function CurrencyFormatted(amount)
{
    var i = parseFloat(amount);
    if(isNaN(i)) { i = 0.00; }
    var minus = '';
    if(i < 0) { minus = '-'; }
    i = Math.abs(i);
    i = parseInt((i + .005) * 100);
    i = i / 100;
    s = new String(i);
    if(s.indexOf('.') < 0) { s += '.00'; }
    if(s.indexOf('.') == (s.length - 2)) { s += '0'; }
    s = minus + s;
    return s;
}

Number(value)
        .toFixed(2)
        .replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, "$1,")

The YUI codebase uses the following formatting:

format: function(nData, oConfig) {
    oConfig = oConfig || {};

    if(!YAHOO.lang.isNumber(nData)) {
        nData *= 1;
    }

    if(YAHOO.lang.isNumber(nData)) {
        var sOutput = nData + "";
        var sDecimalSeparator = (oConfig.decimalSeparator) ? oConfig.decimalSeparator : ".";
        var nDotIndex;

        // Manage decimals
        if(YAHOO.lang.isNumber(oConfig.decimalPlaces)) {
            // Round to the correct decimal place
            var nDecimalPlaces = oConfig.decimalPlaces;
            var nDecimal = Math.pow(10, nDecimalPlaces);
            sOutput = Math.round(nData*nDecimal)/nDecimal + "";
            nDotIndex = sOutput.lastIndexOf(".");

            if(nDecimalPlaces > 0) {
                // Add the decimal separator
                if(nDotIndex < 0) {
                    sOutput += sDecimalSeparator;
                    nDotIndex = sOutput.length-1;
                }
                // Replace the "."
                else if(sDecimalSeparator !== "."){
                    sOutput = sOutput.replace(".",sDecimalSeparator);
                }
                // Add missing zeros
                while((sOutput.length - 1 - nDotIndex) < nDecimalPlaces) {
                    sOutput += "0";
                }
            }
        }

        // Add the thousands separator
        if(oConfig.thousandsSeparator) {
            var sThousandsSeparator = oConfig.thousandsSeparator;
            nDotIndex = sOutput.lastIndexOf(sDecimalSeparator);
            nDotIndex = (nDotIndex > -1) ? nDotIndex : sOutput.length;
            var sNewOutput = sOutput.substring(nDotIndex);
            var nCount = -1;
            for (var i=nDotIndex; i>0; i--) {
                nCount++;
                if ((nCount%3 === 0) && (i !== nDotIndex)) {
                    sNewOutput = sThousandsSeparator + sNewOutput;
                }
                sNewOutput = sOutput.charAt(i-1) + sNewOutput;
            }
            sOutput = sNewOutput;
        }

        // Prepend prefix
        sOutput = (oConfig.prefix) ? oConfig.prefix + sOutput : sOutput;

        // Append suffix
        sOutput = (oConfig.suffix) ? sOutput + oConfig.suffix : sOutput;

        return sOutput;
    }
    // Still not a number. Just return it unaltered
    else {
        return nData;
    }
}

It would need editing as the YUI library is configurable, like replacing oConfig.decimalSeparator with ".".

A minimalistic approach that just meets the original requirements:

function formatMoney(n) {
    return "$ " + (Math.round(n * 100) / 100).toLocaleString();
}

@Daniel Magliola: You're right. The above was a hasty, incomplete implementation. Here's the corrected implementation:

function formatMoney(n) {
    return "$ " + n.toLocaleString().split(".")[0] + "."
        + n.toFixed(2).split(".")[1];
}

We can also use numeraljs

Numbers can be formatted to look like currency, percentages, times, or even plain old numbers with decimal places, thousands, and abbreviations. And you can always create a custom format.

var string = numeral(1000).format('0,0');
// '1,000'

toLocaleString is good, but it doesn't work in all browsers. I usually use currencyFormatter.js (https://osrec.github.io/currencyFormatter.js/). It's pretty lightweight and contains all the currency and locale definitions right out of the box. It's also good at formatting unusually formatted currencies, such as the INR (which groups numbers in lakhs, crores, etc.). Also, there aren't any dependencies!

OSREC.CurrencyFormatter.format(2534234, { currency: 'INR' }); // Returns ₹ 25,34,234.00

OSREC.CurrencyFormatter.format(2534234, { currency: 'EUR' }); // Returns 2.534.234,00 €

OSREC.CurrencyFormatter.format(2534234, { currency: 'EUR', locale: 'fr' }); // Returns 2 534 234,00 €

I wanted a vanilla JavaScript solution that automatically returned the decimal portion.

function formatDollar(amount) {
    var dollar = Number(amount).toLocaleString("us", "currency");
    // Decimals
    var arrAmount = dollar.split(".");
    if (arrAmount.length==2) {
        var decimal = arrAmount[1];
        if (decimal.length==1) {
            arrAmount[1] += "0";
        }
    }
    if (arrAmount.length==1) {
        arrAmount.push("00");
    }

    return "$" + arrAmount.join(".");
}


console.log(formatDollar("1812.2");

Please find in the below code what I have developed to support internationalization.

It formats the given numeric value to language specific format. In the given example I have used ‘en’ while have tested for ‘es’, ‘fr’ and other countries where in the format varies. It not only stops the user from keying characters, but it formats the value on tab out.

I have created components for Number as well as for Decimal format. Apart from this, I have created parseNumber(value, locale) and parseDecimal(value, locale) functions which will parse the formatted data for any other business purposes. The said function will accept the formatted data and will return the non-formatted value. I have used the jQuery validator plugin in the below shared code.

Taking a few of the best rated answers, I combined and made an ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) function that passes ESLint.

export const formatMoney = (
  amount,
  decimalCount = 2,
  decimal = '.',
  thousands = ',',
  currencySymbol = '$',
) => {
  if (typeof Intl === 'object') {
    return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-AU', {
      style: 'currency',
      currency: 'AUD',
    }).format(amount);
  }
  // Fallback if Intl is not present.
  try {
    const negativeSign = amount < 0 ? '-' : '';
    const amountNumber = Math.abs(Number(amount) || 0).toFixed(decimalCount);
    const i = parseInt(amountNumber, 10).toString();
    const j = i.length > 3 ? i.length % 3 : 0;
    return (
      currencySymbol +
      negativeSign +
      (j ? i.substr(0, j) + thousands : '') +
      i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, `$1${thousands}`) +
      (decimalCount
        ? decimal +
          Math.abs(amountNumber - i)
            .toFixed(decimalCount)
            .slice(2)
        : '')
    );
  } catch (e) {
    // eslint-disable-next-line no-console
    console.error(e);
  }
  return amount;
};
