JavaScript中有一个内置函数toFixed：

var num = new Number(349);
document.write("$" + num.toFixed(2));

主要部分是插入千个分隔符，可以这样做：

<script type="text/javascript">
  function ins1000Sep(val) {
    val = val.split(".");
    val[0] = val[0].split("").reverse().join("");
    val[0] = val[0].replace(/(\d{3})/g, "$1,");
    val[0] = val[0].split("").reverse().join("");
    val[0] = val[0].indexOf(",") == 0 ? val[0].substring(1) : val[0];
    return val.join(".");
  }

  function rem1000Sep(val) {
    return val.replace(/,/g, "");
  }

  function formatNum(val) {
    val = Math.round(val*100)/100;
    val = ("" + val).indexOf(".") > -1 ? val + "00" : val + ".00";
    var dec = val.indexOf(".");
    return dec == val.length-3 || dec == 0 ? val : val.substring(0, dec+3);
  }
</script>

<button onclick="alert(ins1000Sep(formatNum(12313231)));">

这是另一个尝试，只是为了好玩：

function formatDollar(num) {
    var p = num.toFixed(2).split(".");
    return "$" + p[0].split("").reverse().reduce(function(acc, num, i, orig) {
        return num + (num != "-" && i && !(i % 3) ? "," : "") + acc;
    }, "") + "." + p[1];
}

还有一些测试：

formatDollar(45664544.23423) // "$45,664,544.23"
formatDollar(45) // "$45.00"
formatDollar(123) // "$123.00"
formatDollar(7824) // "$7,824.00"
formatDollar(1) // "$1.00"
formatDollar(-1345) // "$-1,345.00
formatDollar(-3) // "$-3.00"

PHP函数“number_format”有一个JavaScript端口。

我发现它非常有用，因为它易于使用，并且对PHP开发人员来说是可识别的。

function number_format (number, decimals, dec_point, thousands_sep) {
    var n = number, prec = decimals;

    var toFixedFix = function (n,prec) {
        var k = Math.pow(10,prec);
        return (Math.round(n*k)/k).toString();
    };

    n = !isFinite(+n) ? 0 : +n;
    prec = !isFinite(+prec) ? 0 : Math.abs(prec);
    var sep = (typeof thousands_sep === 'undefined') ? ',' : thousands_sep;
    var dec = (typeof dec_point === 'undefined') ? '.' : dec_point;

    var s = (prec > 0) ? toFixedFix(n, prec) : toFixedFix(Math.round(n), prec);
    // Fix for Internet Explorer parseFloat(0.55).toFixed(0) = 0;

    var abs = toFixedFix(Math.abs(n), prec);
    var _, i;

    if (abs >= 1000) {
        _ = abs.split(/\D/);
        i = _[0].length % 3 || 3;

        _[0] = s.slice(0,i + (n < 0)) +
               _[0].slice(i).replace(/(\d{3})/g, sep+'$1');
        s = _.join(dec);
    } else {
        s = s.replace('.', dec);
    }

    var decPos = s.indexOf(dec);
    if (prec >= 1 && decPos !== -1 && (s.length-decPos-1) < prec) {
        s += new Array(prec-(s.length-decPos-1)).join(0)+'0';
    }
    else if (prec >= 1 && decPos === -1) {
        s += dec+new Array(prec).join(0)+'0';
    }
    return s;
}

处理货币输出（包括负数）的函数。样本输出：$5.23-$5.23

function formatCurrency(total) {
    var neg = false;
    if(total < 0) {
        neg = true;
        total = Math.abs(total);
    }
    return (neg ? "-$" : '$') + parseFloat(total, 10).toFixed(2).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, "$1,").toString();
}

Patrick热门答案的CoffeeScript：

Number::formatMoney = (decimalPlaces, decimalChar, thousandsChar) ->
  n = this
  c = decimalPlaces
  d = decimalChar
  t = thousandsChar
  c = (if isNaN(c = Math.abs(c)) then 2 else c)
  d = (if d is undefined then "." else d)
  t = (if t is undefined then "," else t)
  s = (if n < 0 then "-" else "")
  i = parseInt(n = Math.abs(+n or 0).toFixed(c)) + ""
  j = (if (j = i.length) > 3 then j % 3 else 0)
  s + (if j then i.substr(0, j) + t else "") + i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, "$1" + t) + (if c then d + Math.abs(n - i).toFixed(c).slice(2) else "")
