I am trying to create a loan calculator that uses commas to separate every third number. For example, $1,000,000.75.
Is there a way to display all of the input values like this, without compromising the actual calculation of numbers?
Right now, if a comma is entered in any of the inputs, than the calculated input (input that displays the calculation), throws an error (NaN). I am wondering if there is any way to do this using something such as PHP or JavaScript?
Here is a picture of a working example of my loan calculator:
Here is my full page code for the loan calculator:

The results of this loan payment calculator are for comparison purposes only.
They will be a close approximation of actual loan
repayments if available at the terms entered, from a financial institution. This
is being
provided for you to plan your next loan application. To use, enter values
for the
Loan Amount, Number of Months for Loan, and the Interest Rate (e.g.
7.25), and
click the Calculate button. Clicking the Reset button will clear entered
values.

I am looking for a solution to my problem, as I am not experienced with this type of code. Suggestions may only get me so far.
Thank you for any help. All help is greatly appreciated.
