# Custom Totals: A Complete Guide

# ${color}[#314AF3](Introduction)

Show multiple results and **custom totals** by placing the calculator total anywhere on your website using a **shortcode**.  

You can either show the original total price or manipulate it with math for certain use cases (comparing competitive pricing and much more).

# ${color}[#314AF3](Benefits, Features & Use Cases)

Show multiple results by:  

* Display the **calculator's total cost again** somewhere else on the page. Use CSS code to style the way you want.
* **Combine** two calculator totals that are on the same page.
* **Competitor Pricing** - compare your pricing to a competitor's pricing. A custom total shortcode should be added and multiplied by 1.15 if their prices are 15% higher than yours.
* **Show Monthly Pricing** - calculate the monthly cost by dividing the total price by 12.
* Display a [Price Range](https://help.stylishcostcalculator.com/en/article/price-range-a-complete-guide-1qnqpod/)

# ${color}[#314AF3](How to Activate & Use This Feature)

### Settings & Options

Enter the IDs of each calculator as we did below. In this example, we're combining calculators #5 and #7  

* **Display the calculator total cost again somewhere else on the page**  

`[scc_calculator-total type='text' idvalue='2']`

* **Combine Multiple Calculators**

Combine two calculator totals that are on the same page Enter the IDs of each calculator as we did below. In this example, we're combining calculators #5 and #7  

`[scc_calculator-total combine='5,7']`

* **Currency Symbols**

Use the **currency-symbol** attribute to **disable** the currency symbol.  
This attribute works if you use the **'combine'** attribute.  

`[scc_calculator-total combine='5,7' currency-symbol=0]`

* **Currency Comma Format**

Use the **comma-separator** attribute to switch the mode of the comma separator between 'default' and 'comma'. By default, the browser locale-based formatting will be applied. If you want to have the commas regardless of the region, set the parameter to **comma-separator=comma**  

`[scc_calculator-total combine='5,7' currency-symbol=0 comma-separator=comma]`

* **Apply Math**  

To **apply math operations** over the total value or the combined total value, you can use the 'apply-math' attribute.  

`[scc_calculator-total combine='5,7' currency-symbol=0 apply-math="divide:2"]`  

Here, the 'divide:2' is the math type, followed by the value the total amount should be divided against. You can use the multiply, add, and subtract operation over the value returned by the shortcode. **Here are the example**.

`[scc_calculator-total idvalue='2' apply-math="divide:2"]`  

(divides the value by 2)

`[scc_calculator-total idvalue='2' apply-math="multiply:20"]`  

(multiplies the value by 20)

`[scc_calculator-total idvalue='2' currency-symbol=0 apply-math="add:21"]`  

(adds 21 to the value)

`[scc_calculator-total combine='5,7' currency-symbol=0 apply-math="subtract:2"]`  

(combines two calculators & subtracts 23 from the value)

# ${color}[#314AF3](Add to Webpage)

In this example, we use Elementor to add the shortcode.
