Format number to always show 2 decimal places

Question

I would like to format my numbers to always display 2 decimal places, rounding where applicable.

Examples:

number     display
------     -------
1            


        

Answer 1

var quantity = 12;

var import1 = 12.55;

var total = quantity * import1;

var answer = parseFloat(total).toFixed(2);

document.write(answer);

Answer 2

A much more generic solution for rounding to N places

function roundN(num,n){
  return parseFloat(Math.round(num * Math.pow(10, n)) /Math.pow(10,n)).toFixed(n);
}


console.log(roundN(1,2))
console.log(roundN(1.34,2))
console.log(roundN(1.35,2))
console.log(roundN(1.344,2))
console.log(roundN(1.345,2))
console.log(roundN(1.344,3))
console.log(roundN(1.345,3))
console.log(roundN(1.3444,3))
console.log(roundN(1.3455,3))

Output

1.00
1.34
1.35
1.34
1.35
1.344
1.345
1.344
1.346

Answer 3

Try below code:

function numberWithCommas(number) { 

   var newval = parseFloat(Math.round(number * 100) / 100).toFixed(2);

   return newval.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
}

Answer 4

For the most accurate rounding, create this function:

function round(value, decimals) {
    return Number(Math.round(value +'e'+ decimals) +'e-'+ decimals).toFixed(decimals);
}

and use it to round to 2 decimal places:

console.log("seeked to " + round(1.005, 2));
> 1.01

Answer 5

here is another solution to round only using floor, meaning, making sure calculated amount won't be bigger than the original amount (sometimes needed for transactions):

Math.floor(num* 100 )/100;

Answer 6

(num + "").replace(/^([0-9]*)(\.[0-9]{1,2})?.*$/,"$1$2")
