This is code from the editable invoice (http://css-tricks.com/html-invoice/) and instead of an Invoice I was trying to make a Quote form.

So where it says "Amount Paid" and have "Total Labor" and I see in the code its subtracting 'Amount Paid' from the total, but when I remove the '-' sign and add the '+' sign it just adds both togeather like words for example' $875.00100.00,

Current code that I think is doing the math, but I just want to add them.

function update_balance() {
  var due = $("#total").html().replace("$","") - $("#paid").val().replace("$","");
  due = roundNumber(due,2);
  
  $('.due').html("$"+due);
}

Thanks for the help.

I think parseFloat() is what you'll need there.

var due = parseFloat($("#total").html().replace("$","")) - parseFloat($("#paid").val().replace("$",""));

And in fact, you probably don't need the replace functions at all, parseFloat will ignore those.
