For anyone looking for a solution in 2021 you can use Currency js  After much research this was the most reliable method I found for production  I didn t have any issues so far  In addition it s very active on Github  currency 123           123 00 currency 1 23          1 23 currency  quot 1 23 quot         1 23 currency  quot  12 30 quot       12 30  var value   currency  quot 123 45 quot    currency value         123 45

I know this is an old question but wanted to give an additional option    The jQuery Globalize gives the ability to parse a culture specific format to a float    https   github com jquery globalize  Given a string   13 042 00   and Globalize set to en-US   Globalize culture  en-US      You can parse the float value out like so   var result   Globalize parseFloat Globalize format   13 042 00    c       This will give you   13042 00   And allows you to work with other cultures

I know this is an old question  but CMS s answer seems to have one tiny little flaw  it only works if currency format uses     as decimal separator  For example  if you need to work with russian rubles  the string will look like this    1 000 00 rub    My solution is far less elegant than CMS s  but it should do the trick     x000D   x000D  var currency    1 000 00 rub      it works for US-style currency strings as well x000D  var cur re     D   d   d    d     D   d 2     D     x000D  var parts   cur re exec currency   x000D  var number   parseFloat parts 1  replace   D           parts 2  parts 2   00     x000D  console log number toFixed 2    x000D   x000D   x000D    Assumptions    currency value uses decimal notation there are no digits in the string that are not a part of the currency value currency value contains either 0 or 2 digits in its fractional part     The regexp can even handle something like  1 999 dollars and 99 cents   though it isn t an intended feature and it should not be relied upon   Hope this will help someone

150 00     Fr  150 00         689 00   I have tested for above three currency symbols  You can do it for others also       var price   Fr  150 00      var priceFloat   price replace     d    g         Above regular expression will remove everything that is not a digit or a period So You can get the string without currency symbol but in case of   Fr  150 00   if you console for output then you will get price as      console log  priceFloat     priceFloat        output will be like  priceFloat    150 00   which is wrong so you check the index of     then split that and get the proper result       if  priceFloat indexOf         0                priceFloat   parseFloat priceFloat split      1         else              priceFloat   parseFloat priceFloat

This function should work whichever the locale and currency settings     function getNumPrice price  decimalpoint        var p   price split decimalpoint       for  var i 0 i lt p length i    p i    p i  replace   D g          return p join           This assumes you know the decimal point character  in my case the locale is set from PHP  so I get it with  lt  php echo cms function to get decimal point      gt
