Calculation Values represent the numerical value of an input field. It is generally used for conditional logic and form calculations. This feature is supported in Dropdown, Single Choice, and Multiple Choice form elements.
To assign calculation values
- In the Form Builder, select the form element’s gear icon to open properties.
- In the properties pane on the right, go to Options.
- Switch on Use Calculation Values.

Below that option will be a 2-column table showing all the options on the left and a corresponding blank column on the right. The right column is where you will type in the respective calculation values for each option.
- Enter the value for each row or paste a set of line-separated values from your clipboard.

You can now use your dropdowns, radio buttons, or checkboxes in form calculations and conditions. See how it works in this demo form.

We have updated using this feature, but the values are not reflected correctly in the data coming from the webhook. Can you help?
I have been assigned a form, and I would like to make some modifications and add additional widgets to enhance its functionality. Could you kindly guide me on how to edit the form to implement these changes effectively?
Furthermore, my main question revolves around calculating the average for certain questions in the form without having the "N/A" responses impact the overall score. Is there a way to exclude "N/A" values from the calculations while still obtaining an accurate average for the relevant questions?
I need total values for every cell in (Fields configuration) How ????
Hello! My team wants to ensure that we can list out a list of multiple "subverticals"
based on which "verticals" are checked (whichVerticals22)
Reason is the list can get extensive and we only want the users to see the subverticals relevant to their earlier selection, BUT we want to include all the subverticals associated with earlier checkbox choices displaying and selectable.
I short - vs our setup now - we want to have the same functionality in terms of conditional dependent visibility, BUT have all the views be within ONE - not multiple - fields - so we can map it to our salesforce.
Seems like the visibility logic only enables showing or hiding questions, not differentiating what choices are shown in that question?
If thats case how is this achieved - calculations? (Not even sure a calculation can be the source of dropdown choices on jotform, plus there must be better ways than that.
Thanks so much!

Will it calculate the values in the backend somewhere when form is submitted?
HI, I need a bit more clarification on the value calculation feature. I have 8 options (classes) and the capacity for each is 12 (except for rug weaving - the capacity for that class is 10). I need to know that students will not be able to register for classes that reach their capacity. Thank you.
My form is not adding up correctly... can you please advise?
Hola!
Quiero saber si puedo clisificar las opciones de respuesta y que al final cada oersonoda que responde el formulario obtenga un porsentaje de cada clasificacion
Uso l'opzione calcola in un questionario di gradimento per cui ad ogni risposta associo come valore 10 o 0; quando però l'utente seleziona un'opzione come "non saprei" io inserisco nella domanda punteggio nullo, ma il sistema inserisce comunque come punteggio 0 e mi sballa la media.
Come posso sostanzialmente dirgli che deve ignorare quella risposta?
Grazie!
Very powerful form I like it very much reallyyyyyyyy....................
I wanted to know if I can do this dynamically, that is to say through a condition.
I entered 3 (standing for €3) as calculation values.
But what happens is that 4 (€4) ends up multiplied by 3.
I have no idea what or where it went wrong.
I tried 1 but then got 3 as a result.
I had no issues at all the previous times I used this form.
Checked a different (older) form where I also inserted calculations and saw no issues there when totalizing.
Olá.
Gostaria de uma ajuda, como faço para colocar um limite na primeira opção que já é selecionada no inicio do formulário, como por exemplo, limite de 80 participante, e 60 voluntários, e na hora de preencher o sexo ter o limite de vagas como 70 vagas masculino e 70 feminino.
I want to Subtract each time registered is submitted occurring to each session submitted. Do I have to create each single choice property separate to make that calculation?

I have a question I am trying use the WIDGETS which is driving distance with Google API (Which I already have API) use this value in form calculation to calculate the fare for a taxi service booking but this WIDGETS lucks Use Calculation Values. Do you have any idea how can i solve this problem? or any other method to incorporate to find and calculate the taxi fare. The driving Distance Widget was the best since you put To and From distance and calculate the distance you travel and I was planning to multiply that with the city Taxi value in Form Calculation. I would appreciate if someone helped me on this one. Thank you.

Hello,
I'm not sure calculations are exactly what is need for my multiple choice selections. I have a volunteer sign-up jot with multiple choice serving areas. I need to set parameters on how many volunteers can sign up for each position, so I do not end up with too many in certain areas and not enough in others. Is there any way to do that via the calculations function or other functions?
Liebes Support-Team,
wir planen eine Veranstaltung mit mehreren Seminaren. Ich möchte bei den Anmeldemöglichkeiten eine maximale Obergrenze pro Seminar festlegen. Teilnehmer sollen dann einen Hinweis bekommen, dass sie sich für ein anderes Seminar entscheiden müssen, wenn diese erreicht ist. Ist das möglich, und wenn ja, wie geht das?
Ich freue mich auf Ihre Antwort und sende
sonnige Grüße
