This should help:

    String yourString = "6000";
    double value = Double.valueOf(yourString);
    DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
    System.out.println(df.format(value));

Just convert your string "6000" to a number e.g. 

double d = Double.parseDouble("6000");

Then use DecimalFormat like explained here: How do I format a number in Java?
