vb script to javascript

Question

Can anyone help me to convert this VB script to equivalent Javascript please.

PMT = ((PV - FV) * rate/ (1 - (1 + rate) ^ -(nper)))

This is already valid javascript, you should keep this in the existing thread — Martin Jespersen

@Martin Jespersen JavaScript doesn't have an exponentiation operator ... — Pointy

Probably

var PMT = ((PV - FV) * rate / (1 - Math.pow(1 + rate, -nper)));

JavaScript numbers are always (at heart) floating-point values, so when you're dealing with money things can get somewhat weird.

My objective is to do the following math : stackoverflow.com/questions/5353511/pmt-in-javascript

The result doesn't match what?? Also, if the interest rate is 7.5%, you probably should be using 0.075 and not 7.5.
