var xhr = new window.XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", function(evt) {
  if (evt.lengthComputable) {
    var percentComplete = evt.loaded / evt.total;
    percentComplete = parseInt(percentComplete * 100);

  }
}, false);

return xhr;
},
url: posturlfile,
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(fileuploaddata),
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json",
success: function(result) {
console.log(result);
}
});

Here is the HTML code of progress bar, I used Bootstrap 3 for the progress bar element:
