    Hi Lynda,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you assign calculation values to fields like Multiple Choice, Dropdown, Single Choice, or Input Tables, you need to add the Form Calculation widget to reveal the calculation on the form. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element + on the top left side.

    2. On the left panel, click on Widget and look for Form Calculation.
    3. On the widget, click on the wand icon on the right side.
    4. Add the field for the calculation.
    5. Finally, click on Save below.

    Here's the demo form that you can test. We also have this guide on how to use the Form Calculation Widget.
