I seem to have a blind spot as regards your html structure  but I think that this is what you re looking for  It should find the currently-selected option from the select input  assign its text to the newVal variable and then apply that variable to the value attribute of the  costLabel label  jQuery   document  ready    function            select name package    change        function            var newText      option selected  this  text                costLabel   text  Total price      newText                              html     lt form name  quot thisForm quot  id  quot thisForm quot  action  quot   quot  method  quot post quot  gt     lt fieldset gt       lt select name  quot package quot  id  quot package quot  gt           lt option value  quot standard quot  gt Standard -  amp euro 55 Monthly lt  option gt           lt option value  quot standardAnn quot  gt Standard -  amp euro 49 Monthly lt  option gt                       lt option value  quot premium quot  gt Premium -  amp euro 99 Monthly lt  option gt           lt option value  quot premiumAnn quot  selected  quot selected quot  gt Premium -  amp euro 89 Monthly lt  option gt                       lt option value  quot platinum quot  gt Platinum -  amp euro 149 Monthly lt  option gt           lt option value  quot platinumAnn quot  gt Platinum -  amp euro 134 Monthly lt  option gt          lt  select gt     lt  fieldset gt            lt fieldset gt         lt label id  quot costLabel quot  name  quot costLabel quot  gt Total price   lt  label gt       lt  fieldset gt     lt  form gt   Working demo of the above at  JS Bin

val   is more like a shortcut for attr  value    For your usage use text   or html   instead
