Welcome!

post an example in codePen or your JS code here in the forum. Use the back tick ` or a code block!

my guess would be: [https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref\_tofixed.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_tofixed.asp)

I’m not very good with Jquery 🙂

But what are you seeing for the `EditBox1` value? Do you get a result like 20.20483802 and need it toFixed ?

</div>

```auto
$('#Editbox1').val($('#Combobox2').val()*2.50+$('#Combobox3').val()*4.00+$('#Combobox4').val()*6.50).toFixed(5)

```

does this result in 2.00000 ?

I might be missing something with JQuery, but i’m pretty sure you just need the [https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref\_tofixed.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_tofixed.asp) in there somewhere. 🤔

good luck!

No, something I suggested I was wrong since you were already getting a result:

I’m just not good with JQuery. You are close though!

Good luck. and someone will hopefully find my error 😊
