# Handlebars Helper Function: multiply

Multiplies two numeric arguments and returns their product. The function can handle both integers and floating-point numbers, and attempts to convert strings to numbers.

## Availability

This helper is available in the Winter ’26 release of Marketing Cloud Next.

## Syntax

```handlebars
{{multiply value1 value2}}
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type             | Description                                                                          |
| --------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `value1`  | Number or String | Required. The first value to multiply. Must be a number or convertible to a number.  |
| `value2`  | Number or String | Required. The second value to multiply. Must be a number or convertible to a number. |

## Return Value

The function returns the arithmetic product of the two input values. If you provide more than two arguments, the operation multiplies only the first two. The result is always a number rounded to 2 decimal places.

If either input is a string, the operation tries to convert it to a number. If a string value can’t be converted to a number, the operation throws an exception.
