Sum HTML Textbox Values using jQuery / JavaScript

sum-html-textbox-value-javascript Here is a small code snippet to sum the values of all textboxes in a form in JavaScript using jQuery. I wrote it for some functionality and thought to share it with you all. The requirement is simple, whenever user modify the value of a textbox, the fresh sum should be calculated and displayed on the form. I used jQuery for this as it provides simple way of selecting elements and iterating through them.

Following is the complete source code.

Code language: JavaScript (javascript)
Let us step by step see what above code is doing.
  1. First the $(document).ready() is called which gets triggered whenever the webpage is loaded.
  2. Inside $(document).ready(), we selected all textboxes by the class name “.txt” and iterate through each of them and added event handler on keydown event. Thus whenever keypress event will occur, the code will trigger calculateSum() function. Note that you may want to change the selector code that suits your html elements. In this case we selected textboxes based on class=”txt” as all textbox has this class.
  3. The keydown event triggers the function calculateSum(). In this function again we iterate through each textboxes and sum up the values in a variable sum. Note that we have checked whether the value is number before adding it to the sum.
  4. Finally we update the innerHTML property of span #sum using $("#sum").html(sum) code. You may want to display the sum in some textbox or some other place.

    Can I use it on my wesite?

    Annegärd

  2. Hi Annegärd, Feel free to use above code in your website :) If you want, you can link to this tutorial from your site.

  3. Russ Cam says:

    I would highly recommend using $(‘input.txt’) as the selector as opposed to only $(‘.txt’) as this will cause all element nodes within the DOM to be checked to see if they have the class name ‘.txt’. Secondly, there is no need to use each() on the wrapped set to iterate through and bind an event handler to each element- binding an event handler to the wrapped set will bind the event handler to each element within the wrapped set by default. Thirdly, rather than binding an anonymous function to the keyup event which is only executing calculateSum(), you can just bind calculateSum to the keyup event directly. So, the code becomes

    $(function() {
    $(‘input.txt’).keyup(calculateSum);
    } );

    Reducing the length of the scope chain all over and improving performance speed (although in reality for this demo, it’s doubtful that the performance difference will be noticeable).

    • Hi Russ,
      Thanks for the update. I agree with your suggestion of using “input.txt” as selector rather than “.txt”. It definitely reduce the scope of selector there by improving performance of the code. I will make changes in above code :)

      Thanks

  4. Hi Patel,
    Excellent job, well done. I was interested to use it but I’ve found a bug easy to reproduce: just put these values in your demo and check the result: 1.22; 1.22; 1; 1; 1; 1. It shows 6.4399999999999995 instead of 6.44. Is there a way to fix that?
    Thanks!

    • @Bogdan: Thanks for finding the bug in final sum calculation. I have added .toFixed() the code at line #86. .toFixed(2) method will round off the final sum at 2 decimal places.
      I have also fixed the demo.

      Thanks again :)

    Hi,
    I want to link the sum total value to appear in a text box. I have applied the following code; $(“#sum”).value(sum.toFixed(2)); and changed all textboxes ids to “sum”.

    It is not working as expected. Need your help

    Great peace of work!!!
    Thanks

    • @Batowiise – You dont have to change the ids of all textboxes to “sum”. Just make the id for last textbox where you want to display sum “sum”. It should work.

  16. Batowiise says:

    Hi,

    I did change the text box id where the final total will be to “sum” and still did not work. I did apply the following code too as well:

    $(“#sum”).value(sum.toFixed(2));

    and not

    $(“#sum”).html(sum.toFixed(2));

    What next again?

    Thanks

    • Hi Batowiise – Try:
      $(“#sum”).val(sum.toFixed(2));
      This will work.

  17. Batowiise says:

    WOW !!!! Its working like magic.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I now want to implement a complex form that has subtotals. I tried duplicating script in the body tag like these;

    $(document).ready(function(){

    //iterate through each textboxes and add keyup
    //handler to trigger sum event
    $(“.txt”).each(function() {

    $(this).keyup(function(){
    calculateSum();
    });
    });

    });

    function calculateSum() {

    var sum = 0;
    //iterate through each textboxes and add the values
    $(“.txt”).each(function() {

    //add only if the value is number
    if(!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length!=0) {
    sum += parseFloat(this.value);
    }

    });
    //.toFixed() method will roundoff the final sum to 2 decimal places
    $(“#subtotal1”).val(sum.toFixed(2));
    }

    $(document).ready(function(){

    //iterate through each textboxes and add keyup
    //handler to trigger sum event
    $(“.txt”).each(function() {

    $(this).keyup(function(){
    calculateSum();
    });
    });

    });

    function calculateSum() {

    var sum = 0;
    //iterate through each textboxes and add the values
    $(“.txt”).each(function() {

    //add only if the value is number
    if(!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length!=0) {
    sum += parseFloat(this.value);
    }

    });
    //.toFixed() method will roundoff the final sum to 2 decimal places
    $(“#subtotal2”).val(sum.toFixed(2));
    }

    The problem now is that when i input a value, the subtotal2 totals everything while subtotal1 is empty.

    What should i do?

    Regards.

  29. oliver says:

    hello..what if the text box es has value already how do i get the correct code of it.
    hope somebody would help me.

    thanks

    • @Oliver – You can call method calculateSum() on load of your page if you need to calculate sum if your textboxes are pre populated.

      $(document).ready(function() {
              calculateSum();
      }

    Hi I am new to coding as my background is graphic design and electronics. Sorry for being nieve but this is exactly what i need, i have copied the code and pasted it to a html doc the table shows up well but i cant get the maths to work? do I need to upload a script doc to my web space?

    Thanks, great work btw!

    • @Martin – This is because you might not have copied jQuery javascript file in your folder containing HTML. Well that’s not a problem. Just replace following line no. 19 in your HTML document:

      <script src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
      

      with this one:

      <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
      

      Hope this works :)

    • Hi Dilip, You using two definitions of calculateSum() method. In this scenario, you can create two methods calculateSum1() and calculateSum2() method to tackle .txt and .txtt textboxes.

      You need to use something like this:

      {
      nStr += ”;
      x = nStr.split(‘.’);
      x1 = x[0];
      x2 = x.length > 1 ? ‘.’ + x[1] : ”;
      var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
      while (rgx.test(x1)) {
      x1 = x1.replace(rgx, ‘$1’ + ‘,’ + ‘$2’);
      }
      return x1 + x2;
      }

      function calculateSum() {

      var sum = 0;
      //iterate through each textboxes and add the values
      $(“.txt”).each(function() {

      //add only if the value is number
      if(!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length!=0) {
      sum += parseFloat(this.value);
      }

      });
      //.toFixed() method will roundoff the final sum to 2 decimal places
      $(“#sum”).html(addCommas(sum.toFixed(2)));

      }

    Hi

    I am newbie in this matter and in fact I was looking for something like this. But…

    I have 1 value that comes from sql database (e.g. 25.00) that must multiply by any user quantity digit (e.g. 4) that gives a partial total of 100.00

    Then I have another (e.g. 10.00) times (e.g. 5) gives a partial total of 50.00

    I need to add automatically the two partial values without submit button to give me a grand total of 150.00.

    Using your code it adds all the values because are text, In another words gives me 25.00+4+100.00+10.00+5+50.00=194.00

    Any way to sort this problem out?

    Thank you in advance.

    Jose

  68. Jegger says:

    I have a input fields which is dynamically added using the appendTo. If I input a value on the input fields it calculates the sum of it, so it works fine but when I delete an input field it does not change the sum of all the fields. How can I make it right?So that when I delete some of the dynamic input fields it will update the value and sum it up to correct value. Any bright ideas?It would be a great help.

  69. wajid raza says:

    code is great but sir the result show in an other textbox also.

  70. jaswinder says:

    i wana show nan in result if anyone of the field is not number

  71. It only took me 2 days until I stumbled upon your snippet for adding text elements. I create a dynamic hidden values each time a shopping cart dynamic div is added. I changed the getter (.each) and setter (.text) selectors to what I needed and away it went.

    Worked like a charm!

    Thank you so much. Your code was a life-saver that added to a really nice shopping cart project for my website.. Soon to be in action. LOL

    You code revised to my need:

    function calculateSum() {
     
     		var sum = 0;
    		//iterate through each hidden input value and total them
    		$(".hide-value").each(function() {
     
     			//add only if the value is number
     			if(!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length!=0) {
     			sum += parseFloat(this.value);
     			}
     
     		});
     		//.toFixed() method will roundoff the final sum to 2 decimal places
     		$("#cumulative-total").text(sum.toFixed(2));
    
     		}
    	
    	// this is a really nice function.. only took me 2 days to find it.
    	calculateSum();  // fire the function

  76. Nancy Marie says:

    This code works very well. If I have three separate rows in a form, each with its own sum, however, I can’t seem to get it to work. For the first row, I use .txt3, and #sum3, for the second row I use .txt2 and #sum2 and for the third row I use .txt and #sum. And only the last row seems to work.

    Could you help me understand what I might be doing wrong.
    Thank you for your assistance and the great piece of code.
