    Hi,

    You can simply add a text box or a number field if you want your users to insert a number value.

    If you will use the text box field (Short Text Entry ), you can see additional options there like "Validation" and "Input Mask". To access those:

    1. First, select the "Text Box" field, and click the gear icon or "Properties" button.

    You can set the "$" sign in the label of the field. Or if you want it to be part of the input, then you can try forcing a $ sign by using input mask. Here's a guide to learn more about that: https://www.jotform.com/help/381-Getting-Started-with-the-Basics-of-Input-Masking

    You can also try using the Masked Input widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/masked_input. To add a widget to your form, you can follow this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/252-How-to-Add-a-Widget-to-your-Form.
