If your format is always like that, you could just replace the ',' with the empty string:

var x=parseFloat($('#totalPrice').val().replace(/,/g, ""))

what does replace(/,/g, "")) mean?

It globally replace all , with ''

I think you can use like this

var array = string.split(',');

this will be treated as an array, this is the possibility, also you can use

 .replace(/,/g,'"')

you change the , to an ", that makes no sence, pls test your code before posting.

var str="33,320.04";
var x= parseFloat(str.replace(/,/g,''));
if(x>5000){
    alert("x is greater");
}
else
{
    alert("x is smaller");
}
