JavaScript Issue displaying calculation into a table

Hi,

I'm trying to get the following code to display the calculated output into a table however, I can't seem to get all the results to print correctly I'm only getting a few answers. I believe I've done the calculations part correctly so it could just be how I'm passing it to the table that's the issue. This is the code i have so far (I've highlighted in red where i think the issue must be):

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- The title of the page and where the CSS file is actioned-->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Homepage</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Intro content of the page and navigation to other pages inside the header-->
<header class="top">
<a href=index.html><img src="images/banner.PNG" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" title="Homepage" alt="banner image"></a>
</header>
<!--Main contents of the page-->

if (rate=== "year"){
hourRate = income / 52 / hoursWork;
weekRate = income / 52;
monthRate = income / 12;
yearRate = income;
}else if (rate==="month"){
hourRate = income / 4 / hoursWork;

yearRate = income * 12;
}else if (rate==="week"){
hourRate = income / hoursWork;
weekRate = income;
monthRate = income * 4;

}else{

}

const incomeResults = document.getElementById("incomeResults");
const newRow = incomeResults.insertRow(-1);
const jobTitleCell = newRow.insertCell(0);
const hourRateCell = newRow.insertCell(1);
const weekRateCell = newRow.insertCell(2);
const monthRateCell = newRow.insertCell(3);

jobTitleCell.innerHTML = jobTitle;
hourRateCell.innerHTML = hourRate.toFixed(2);

Couple of suggestions :
  • Post your code in code tags using the </> button.
  • Do not highlight almost your entire page because you believe the problem might be there. Not helpful.
  • Check your HTML in the W3C Online validator (and fix any errors, obviously).
  • Check the debugger Console for script errors.

The first error I found:
} else {
hourRate = income;
weekRate = income * hoursWork;
monthRate = income * hoursWork * 4;
yearRate = income * 52; S/B yearRate = weekRate * 52;
}

Next, I removed the .toFixed(2); from the cell.innerHTML lines and everything worked.
It's the old string OR number dilemma solved by conversion.

jobTitleCell.innerHTML = jobTitle;
hourRateCell.innerHTML = Number(hourRate).toFixed(2);
weekRateCell.innerHTML = Number(weekRate).toFixed(2);
monthRateCell.innerHTML = Number(monthRate).toFixed(2);
yearRateCell.innerHTML = Number(yearRate).toFixed(2);

HERE'S THE JS:
Code: 
<script>
function calculate() {
    const jobTitle = document.getElementById("jobTitle").value;
    const income = document.getElementById("income").value;
    const rate = document.getElementById("rate").value;
    const hoursWork = document.getElementById("hoursWork").value;
    let hourRate, weekRate, monthRate, yearRate;

    if (rate === "year") {
        hourRate = income / 52 / hoursWork;
        weekRate = income / 52;
        monthRate = income / 12;
        yearRate = income;
    } else if (rate === "month") {
        hourRate = income / 4 / hoursWork;
        weekRate = income / 4;
        monthRate = income;
        yearRate = income * 12;
    } else if (rate === "week") {
        hourRate = income / hoursWork;
        weekRate = income;
        monthRate = income * 4;
        yearRate = income * 52;
    } else {
        hourRate = income;
        weekRate = hourRate * hoursWork;
        monthRate = weekRate * 4;
        yearRate = weekRate * 52;
    }

    const incomeResults = document.getElementById("incomeResults");
    const newRow = incomeResults.insertRow(-1);
    const jobTitleCell = newRow.insertCell(0);
    const hourRateCell = newRow.insertCell(1);
    const weekRateCell = newRow.insertCell(2);
    const monthRateCell = newRow.insertCell(3);
    const yearRateCell = newRow.insertCell(4);

    jobTitleCell.innerHTML = jobTitle;
    hourRateCell.innerHTML = Number(hourRate).toFixed(2);
    weekRateCell.innerHTML = Number(weekRate).toFixed(2);
    monthRateCell.innerHTML = Number(monthRate).toFixed(2);
    yearRateCell.innerHTML = Number(yearRate).toFixed(2);
}
document.getElementById("calculateButton").addEventListener("click", calculate);
</script>
