How this total is calculated
  1. Subtotal: sum of priced line items = $2,516.00.
  2. Discount: 5% of $2,516.00 = -$125.80.
  3. Discount is spread proportionally, so $19.80 of it reduces the taxable amount ($396.00 → $376.20).
  4. Tax: 8.25% (rate you entered) × taxable amount $376.20 = $31.04.
  5. Total: $2,516.00 - $125.80 + $31.04 = $2,421.24.
