Need currency pound symbol before amount

[ianhaney]

I need to display a pound currency symbol before the amount that is calculated

Below is the code I currently have

<th class="text-right py-1 px-2 grand-total">0</th>

function calc(){
        var grand_total = 0;
        $('table#list tbody input[name="total[]"]').each(function(){
            grand_total += parseFloat($(this).val())
            
        })
      
        $('table#list tfoot .grand-total').text(parseFloat(grand_total).toLocaleString('en-gb', {style:'decimal',maximumFractionDigit:2}))
        $('[name="amount"]').val(parseFloat(grand_total))

    }

I'm not sure where to add it within that code, can anyone help please

You can use the £ symbol before the amount like this:

• £50
• £1,000
• £3.99

If you're working in a document or code, let me know where you need it, and I can help format it correctly!

function calc() {
  let grand_total = 0;
  $('table#list tbody input[name="total[]"]').each(function() {
    grand_total += parseFloat($(this).val()) || 0; // Ensuring NaN is handled
  });

  // Format the number with GBP currency symbol
  var formatted_total = '£' + grand_total.toLocaleString('en-GB', {
    style: 'decimal',
    minimumFractionDigits: 2,
    maximumFractionDigits: 2
  });

  // Update the total display
  $('table#list tfoot .grand-total').text(formatted_total);
}

• Added '£' + before the formatted total to ensure the currency symbol is displayed.
• Used minimumFractionDigits: 2 to ensure two decimal places (e.g., £10.00 instead of £10).
• Fixed .maximumFractionDigit typo → It should be maximumFractionDigits instead.
• Handled NaN cases → Used || 0 in case parseFloat($(this).val()) returns NaN.
