var n = +f[i].value.replace(' ','').replace('.','').replace(',','');

Will remove any spaces, commas or periods (dot). Makes me wonder what
happens if it has a decimal part to it though......

In a function UpdateBudget, one should not expect decimal parts. "A
billion here, a billion there - it soon adds up to real money" (approx).

Assuming your answer to have only the obvious answer-affecting error,

var n = +f[i].value.replace(/[\. ,]/g, "")

in which, in my system, the \ is not actually needed.
