Couple of thoughts:
You could make this more generic by binding to all number types by using '$('input[type="number"]').----'
You probably still need validation (user can, for example, paste in a value). Maybe a regex pattern:

<input type="number" step="0.01" pattern="^\d+(\.)\d{2}$" required/>

(That's limiting to 2 decimal places which may not be what you want)
