jQuery calculation on form txt fields

Question

looking for a bit of help with my jQuery, (i know its not the best)

Currently have a form, split into 2 sides, on the left I have a list of assests on the right is the liabilities somewhat of a balance sheet for account, see the image below

the jquery in use just now, is a bit of a mess.. (sorry) this code will calculate the field totals on each keyup request, which seems to work ok,

jQuery('#ass_cash, #ass_liquid, #ass_lifeinsu, #ass_covvalue, #ass_la1, #ass_la2, #ass_la3, #ass_realestate, #ass_auto1total, #ass_auto2total, #lib_mortgage, #lib_bankloan1, #lib_bankloan2, #lib_loansinsucomp, #lib_loanscreditunion, #lib_creditcards, #lib_od1, #lib_od2, #lib_od3, #lib_rent, #lib_mortgagemthpmt, #lib_bankloan1mthpmt, #lib_bankloan2mthpmt, #lib_loansinsucompmthpmt, #lib_loanscreditunionmthpmt, #lib_creditcardsmthpmt, #lib_od1mthpmt, #lib_od2mthpmt, #lib_od3mthpmt, #lib_rentmthpmt').keyup( function(){

// ASSESTS
var ass_cash = jQuery("#ass_cash").val();
var ass_liquid = jQuery("#ass_liquid").val();
var ass_lifeinsu = jQuery("#ass_lifeinsu").val();
var ass_covvalue = jQuery("#ass_covvalue").val();
var ass_la1 = jQuery("#ass_la1").val();
var ass_la2 = jQuery("#ass_la2").val();
var ass_la3 = jQuery("#ass_la3").val();
var ass_realestate = jQuery("#ass_realestate").val();
var ass_auto1total = jQuery("#ass_auto1total").val();
var ass_auto2total = jQuery("#ass_auto2total").val();
var ass_total = jQuery("#ass_total").val();

if(ass_cash==''){ ass_cash = 0; }
if(ass_liquid==''){ ass_liquid = 0; }
if(ass_lifeinsu==''){ ass_lifeinsu = 0; }
if(ass_covvalue==''){ ass_covvalue = 0; }

if(ass_realestate==''){ ass_realestate = 0; }
if(ass_auto1total==''){ ass_auto1total = 0; }
if(ass_auto2total==''){ ass_auto2total = 0; }

var asssubtotal = parseInt(ass_cash) + parseInt(ass_liquid) + parseInt(ass_lifeinsu) + parseInt(ass_covvalue);

asssubtotal = asssubtotal + parseInt(ass_la1) + parseInt(ass_la2) + parseInt(ass_la3) + parseInt(ass_realestate);

asssubtotal = asssubtotal + parseInt(ass_auto1total) + parseInt(ass_auto2total);

var asstotal = jQuery('#ass_total');
asstotal.val(asssubtotal);

// LIABILITIES

var lib_od2 = jQuery("#lib_od2").val();
var lib_od3 = jQuery("#lib_od3").val();

var lib_subtotal = jQuery('#lib_subtotal');                 lib_subtotal.val(libsubtotal);                      

// MONTHLY PAYMENTS
var lib_mortgagemthpmt = jQuery("#lib_mortgagemthpmt").val();

var lib_surplus = jQuery('#lib_surplus');
if(lib_surplus==''){ lib_surplus = 0; }

var subtotal = parseInt(lib_mortgagemthpmt) + parseInt(lib_bankloan1mthpmt) + parseInt(lib_bankloan2mthpmt) + parseInt(lib_loansinsucompmthpmt);

subtotal = subtotal + parseInt(lib_loanscreditunionmthpmt) + parseInt(lib_creditcardsmthpmt) + parseInt(lib_od1mthpmt) + parseInt(lib_od2mthpmt);

var totalmthpmt = jQuery('#lib_totalmthpmt');
totalmthpmt.val(subtotal);

var assets_total = jQuery('#ass_total').val();
var lib_subtotal  = jQuery('#lib_subtotal').val();
var lib_surplus  = jQuery('#lib_surplus');

if(assets_total==''){ assets_total = 0; }
if(lib_subtotal==''){ lib_subtotal = 0; }
if(lib_surplus==''){ lib_surplus = 0; }

var surplus = assets_total - lib_subtotal;
lib_surplus.val(surplus);

// THIS IS THE PART THAT ISNT WORKING               
//surplus/deficit
//var lib_total = jQuery('#lib_total').val();
//if(lib_total==''){ lib_total = 0; }
//var lib_totalmthpmt = jQuery('#lib_totalmthpmt').val();
//if(lib_totalmthpmt==''){ lib_totalmthpmt = 0; }

//var surplustotal = lib_total - lib_totalmthpmt;
//jQuery('#mthsurplus').val(surplustotal);
});

you can see the section which is causing issues above, its the calculation between the subtotal (minus) Surplus to generate the total,

each field for asset has a class .asset each libability has class .liability each monthly payment field has class .liabilitymth

Ive tried doing the jQuery('.asset').each(function() and trying to generate the total in the asset field, same for the other 2, sections,

the greyed out boxes are "readonly", were the calculations should appear.

ASSETS: The total on the left side of the page will be the total assets. LIABILITIES: The 'Subtotal' will reflect the sum of the Liability column. SURPLUS: This will represent the difference (Negative'-' OR Positive'+'), between the Assets & Liabilities-Balance column.

TOTAL(Right Side): This is to create a 'Balance Sheet'effect, so when you look at it, the calculation should reflect the same figure as the 'Total' over on the Asset side (Left side).

MONTHLY-SURPLUS/ DEFICIT: This should reflect the net difference in Total Income Revenue, either negative OR positive (Figure found From the Employment Tab), when compared with the total of the 'Monthly Payment' column.

this is where my jQuery falls flat on its face, there has to be an easier way to calculate the field totals, anyone shed any light on this, or have a much better use of code, rather than wrapping it all under a very large keyup request :)

Answer 1

This can give you the head start:

var totalAss = 0;
jQuery('.asset').each(function(){
    var value = parseFloat(this.value);
    if (value)
        totalAss += value;
});
jQuery('#ass_total').val(totalAss);
