Hi.
Does the form calculation count the hidden fields? I have some hidden fields that shall go in my calculation but only when they are shown ... so it depends on other choices the customer makes.

Yes, if the fields are hidden the calculation should work (if the hidden fields are populated), you just have to have them included in the Form Calculation Widget.
Do you have a form that you're working on so we can check?

I have cloned your form named "BESTILLING" on my side in order to investigate the issue.
I have checked the calculation widget and seen that calculation settings are incorrect as you can see the screenshot below:
When I have removed one of the pluses, I have seen that the total has calculated as seen below:
A plus could have been duplicated or a field could have been deleted accidentally in the widget configurations. Please fix the form calculation widget according to your needs and tell us if the issue still persists.
Thank you.

Well, it counts all of the chosen field within the calculation - even the hidden ones, so the amount is too big :) So, is it possible that as the user choose different values in the form, only the shown and chosen fields get calculated?

There is no need for the brackets in the calculation, so I removed that for you.
In the calculation settings, you can Ignore Hidden Fields. I also did this for your convenience. Please check the form now and let us know if it still gives you an incorrect result.
