Redusing decimal to only two figures.

This script is for car loan payments. I need a R simbol only before the monthly payment and only two figures after the decimal point. Can somebody pse help me with this. Thank you in advance.

(document.calc.rate.value == null || document.calc.rate.value.length == 0))
{ document.calc.pay.value = "Incomplete data";
}
else
{
var princ = document.calc.loan.value;
var term = document.calc.months.value;
var intr = document.calc.rate.value / 1200;
document.calc.pay.value = princ * intr / (1 - (Math.pow(1/(1 + intr), term)));
}

// payment = principle * monthly interest/(1 - (1/(1+MonthlyInterest)*Months))

change your code line -
document.calc.pay.value = princ * intr / (1 - (Math.pow(1/(1 + intr), term)));

with
document.calc.pay.value = 'R ' + (princ * intr / (1 - (Math.pow(1/(1 + intr), term)))).toFixed(2);


Thanks & Regards,

The .toFixed(2) solution should work, but keep in mind that it rounds the answer.

If you need a truncated answer, the solution would be:

var tempValue = princ * intr / (1 - (Math.pow(1/(1 + intr), term)));
document.calc.pay.value = parseInt(tempValue * 100)/100;

Could be condensed to one line, but this maybe easier to understand.

Code is untested, but should be close.

Thank you very very much it work fine. Without you 99% of us is lost.
