Strange javascript issue when adding 9 digit values

Question

I have the following code:

    window.total = 0;
    $('.amount').each(function(){       
        if($(this).val()){
        window.total += parseFloat( $.trim($(this).val()).replace(',',''));
        }               
    });
    console.log(window.total);

for this example, there is only one input with the class .amount (there can be many), when the user enters a number with 7 digits and 2 decimal points, the above code cuts the number down to 4 digits.

Anything less then 7 digits it works fine. Any ideas why this is happening?

Js Fiddle : Demo

I added a fiddle, and I'm able to recreate the error . @adeneo, I'm using a library called maskMoney, create the decimal values, so maybe that's what is giving the error. — user1634781, Oct 07 '15 at 07:05
That's because you're using a library that adds more than one comma. The solution in the second comment should work — adeneo, Oct 07 '15 at 07:06
Thanks all, @SheraliTurdiyev your code solved it. Thanks a bunch. — user1634781, Oct 07 '15 at 07:16

In this case, you should use "xxx,xxx,xxx.xx".replace(/,/g, '');. It will work Demo.
