I can make the fields add together correctly, but now I need to be able to subtract.

Example, I have a standard sales goal of $300 per order. When evaluating the performance of a sales associate against their goal I'd like their actual results to subtract from their goal. how can i do this?

If you look at the following example in the Forms Help file it talks about adding fields together. You would use the same process to subtract as well. I belive that you would just change the following line

s += parseNumber($(this).val());

so it is -= instead of +=.

How would one restrict the result with the example given in the Help documentation to 2 decimals?

If you're putting the value in a total field, your code would look like this, using the .toFixed:

$('.total input').val((sum).toFixed(2));

What method are you using currently to add your fields together?

If you are using JavaScript, then you can accomplish subtraction with a simple change to the script.
