Calculated Fields

Calculated fields automatically compute a value based on other fields in the form. Use them for order totals, scoring, or dynamic summaries.

Adding a Calculated Field

  1. In the form editor, add a Calculated field from the field palette
  2. Click the field to open its settings
  3. Enter a formula referencing other fields

How Formulas Work

Formulas reference other fields by their field slug and support basic arithmetic:

  • Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
  • References to number fields, rating fields, and scale fields

Example Use Cases

  • Order total - multiply quantity fields by unit prices
  • Quiz scoring - sum correct answers
  • BMI calculator - compute from height and weight fields
  • Pricing calculator - dynamic pricing based on selections

Display

Calculated field values update in real-time as the respondent fills in the referenced fields. The computed value is stored with the response.
