Javascript calculation gives too many zero digits

Question

I think it's time get some second opinions on the javascript I'm working on at the moment.

I'm trying to create a calculator to tell people if they can save money by using a subscription etc etc. The calculation itself is done by som inputs from the client and some prevalues from Umbraco CMS.

The result I get from the calculator at the moment is "right" in that the actual numbers are correct, but there's just too many zeroes in it.

The calculator can be found here: my calculator

The test data I'm using is the following:

• Antal ansatte: 4
• Gennemsnitlig ordreværdi kr. (ca.): 400
• Antal ordrer årligt (ca.): 5500
• Overskudsgrad (hvad er det?): 2.7

Which gives the output: 712800.0000000001

I tried to divide this by 100 and, of course, it just moved the comma/dot two steps the left. Still there's all those zeroes.

Any help/hint is greatly appreciated! :-)

Thanks in advance,

Bo

P.S. The result I'm looking for would be 7128.00

Answer 1

I believe you want to call toFixed on your integer.

(712800.00000001/100).toFixed(2)
"7128.00"

It will change your number into a string, but if it is for display purposes it should be fine.
