After a cursory glance, is it me or is floating point being used? I thought this was something you wanted to avoid because of precision errors.

ie 0.2 * 0.1

This will work!!

parseFloat((0.2 * 0.1).toFixed(10))

The issue is more obvious when rounding something like 0.5, which, due to lack of precision can become either 0 or 1.
