How to convert a currency to number

Question

Based off a simlar question asked here - How to convert a currency string to a double with jQuery or Javascript? , I need to take a currency that can be in the format of

-143,000.00 and convert it for 2 scenarios:

1. Where the output would be -143000.00
2. Where the output would be -1430000

I am not good at all with regular expressions so I have tried some hack such as these 2 below:

1. I need to remove all of the currency except for the -

const value = "-143,000.00";
Number(value.replace(/[^0-9.,]+/g, ''))

and my second use case is I need to remove all but keep the - and the .

const value = "-143,000.00";
Number(value.replace(/[^0-9.-]+/g, ''));

Thank you for assistance that you can give.
