Please refer to our user guide on : How to Assign Calculation Value
You should be able to add the checkboxes value this way.

I have been testing your form and as far as I can see it calculates the total; however, I would recommend you to assign calculation values to your options since the "Calculation Values" property is enabled.
You will find such option on the field settings, under the options tab:
Please do the same with all the check boxes included in your calculation. Also, set up the value with numbers only, using other characters may generate conflict at the moment of the calculation.
I hope this helps.

Great is working now, thank you, just one more thing, is there a way for the Total field to have as a default the dollar sign character "$", so when the total prices are added the dollar sign is in front of the numbers?

You just add a new "Conditional Logic" using UPDATE/Calculate Field. Then follow the image below.
It is also advisable to set your "Total" field as "Read-only" to prevent your customer from editing the total value.
