Stuck showing my information taken from the input field

Question

Hello all i am stuck and was wondering if anyone could help me im new to developing with js i have this code i managed to throw together and suprissinally it works.. but the issue i am having is the data i have collected i need to display it in the span element.

HTML code - Takes the number from the input field Span element to display the math calculated..

<input type="text" value="" id="level" />
<span id='cash'></span>

My Code - the code gets users input and calculates it like ((2500 * input) * multiplier) the code itself works as it does in the alert but i am struggling to get the data and display it in the span box

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#level").keyup(function() {
    // get the users data
    let dInput = $(this).val();
    // Calculate cost based on input and hardcoded math
    let cost = ((2500 * dInput) * 1.00);
    // Show the cost in the span id?
    $('#cash').load(cost);
    alert(cost);
  });
});

Have got the code to work where it gets the users inputted data and calculates it by the sum.

All the code works but i can't seem to get it to show the collected data in a span or that..

In jQuery the .load() method is used to get data from the server. Instead you want to use .text() to update the text content. Here is the code I would use. Please let me know if it works.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#level").keyup(function() {
      // get the user's data
      let dInput = $(this).val();
      // Calculate cost based on input and hardcoded math
      let cost = ((2500 * dInput) * 1.00);
      // Show the cost in the span id
      $('#cash').text(cost);
  });
});
