How would it be a nice way of handling this?
I already thought on removing the comma and then parsing to float.
Do you know a better/cleaner way?
Thanks

The parseFloat() function is used to accept the string and convert it into a floating-point number. If the string does not contain a numeral value or If the first character of the string is not a Number then it returns NaN i.e, not a number.
To limit the number of digits up to 2 places after the decimal, the toFixed() method is used. The toFixed() method rounds up the floating-point number up to 2 places after the decimal. Parameters: String: The floating-point number in the string format that is to be parsed.
parseFloat() method parses an argument and returns a floating point number. If a number cannot be parsed from the argument, it returns NaN .
If you want parse a number (float number) string with commas thousand separators into a number by removing the commas, and then use the + operator to do the conversion. You can do it with parseFloat method and replace method.
parseFloat( theString.replace(/,/g,'') ); I don't know why no one has suggested this expression-
parseFloat( theString.replace(/[^\d\.]/g,'') ); Removes any non-numeric characters except for periods. You don't need custom functions/loops for this either, that's just overkill.
