How to round to at most 2 decimal places, if necessary
Use Math.round()
:
Math.round(num * 100) / 100
Or to be more specific and to ensure things like 1.005 round correctly, use Number.EPSILON :
Math.round((num + Number.EPSILON) * 100) / 100

JavaScript math, round to two decimal places
NOTE - See Edit 4 if 3 digit precision is important
var discount = (price / listprice).toFixed(2);
toFixed will round up or down for you depending on the values beyond 2 decimals.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/calder12/tv9HY/
Documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toFixed
Edit - As mentioned by others this converts the result to a string. To avoid this:
var discount = +((price / listprice).toFixed(2));
Edit 2- As also mentioned in the comments this function fails in some precision, in the case of 1.005 for example it will return 1.00 instead of 1.01. If accuracy to this degree is important I've found this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32605063/1726511 Which seems to work well with all the tests I've tried.
There is one minor modification required though, the function in the answer linked above returns whole numbers when it rounds to one, so for example 99.004 will return 99 instead of 99.00 which isn't ideal for displaying prices.
Edit 3 - Seems having the toFixed on the actual return was STILL screwing up some numbers, this final edit appears to work. Geez so many reworks!
var discount = roundTo((price / listprice), 2);
function roundTo(n, digits) {
if (digits === undefined) {
digits = 0;
}
var multiplicator = Math.pow(10, digits);
n = parseFloat((n * multiplicator).toFixed(11));
var test =(Math.round(n) / multiplicator);
return +(test.toFixed(digits));
}
See Fiddle example here: https://jsfiddle.net/calder12/3Lbhfy5s/
Edit 4 - You guys are killing me. Edit 3 fails on negative numbers, without digging into why it's just easier to deal with turning a negative number positive before doing the rounding, then turning it back before returning the result.
function roundTo(n, digits) {
var negative = false;
if (digits === undefined) {
digits = 0;
}
if (n < 0) {
negative = true;
n = n * -1;
}
var multiplicator = Math.pow(10, digits);
n = parseFloat((n * multiplicator).toFixed(11));
n = (Math.round(n) / multiplicator).toFixed(digits);
if (negative) {
n = (n * -1).toFixed(digits);
}
return n;
}

Formatting a number with exactly two decimals in JavaScript
To format a number using fixed-point notation, you can simply use the toFixed method:
(10.8).toFixed(2); // "10.80"
var num = 2.4;
alert(num.toFixed(2)); // "2.40"
Note that toFixed()
returns a string.
IMPORTANT: Note that toFixed does not round 90% of the time, it will return the rounded value, but for many cases, it doesn't work.
For instance:
2.005.toFixed(2) === "2.00"
UPDATE:
Nowadays, you can use the Intl.NumberFormat
constructor. It's part of the ECMAScript Internationalization API Specification (ECMA402). It has pretty good browser support, including even IE11, and it is fully supported in Node.js.
const formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
minimumFractionDigits: 2,
maximumFractionDigits: 2,
});
console.log(formatter.format(2.005)); // "2.01"
console.log(formatter.format(1.345)); // "1.35"
Can I safely use the Number type in javascript for calculations with 2 decimal places?
You may face some errors while using Math.round(n * 100) / 100
.
It won't always give your expected result, as for example:
console.log(Math.round(0.145*100)/100)
How to round down number 2 decimal places?
Use Math.floor
to round the decimal places under the current value.
Reference
Example
Math.floor(1.0789 * 100) / 100
Working Fiddle
console.log(Math.floor(1.0789 * 100) / 100);
console.log(Math.floor(10.350 * 100) / 100);
console.log(Math.floor(1.7777 * 100) / 100);
console.log(Math.floor(12.34 * 100) / 100);
