    I am trying to create a registration form where the total purchase will be base on selection throughout the form. I have a condition set but the total is what I expected. What am I doing wrong?

    I think I figured out what to do on the first calculation. Now I'm having trouble getting the second condition to work. Please check out this clone of form #1:

    Hi,

    For calculation in your form, the best way to set it up is to use calculation values, rather than updating a field via conditions.  You can do so in the options for each field:

    That will associate a value with each option.  Then you can simply use the field in you calculation:
