# Totals & Subtotals

By default, Soulver displays a total of all your lines in the bottom right hand corner.

### Subtotals

#### Making a subtotal on Mac

Add a blank line and then press ⌘T (or double-click the empty answer).

A subtotal line will add up all lines above back up to the next subtotal, or heading (#).

#### Making a subtotal on iPad & iPhone

Hold down on an empty line and choose `Make Subtotal Line`:

Alternatively, tap the empty space below the last line.

## Subtotal tasks

#### Assigning a subtotal to a variable

You can create a variable on a subtotal line using "variable = " and leaving the value blank:

#### Adding a percentage (like a sales tax) to a subtotal

Add a percentage line to your subtotal to have this applied to the final result.

## Customizing the floating total

#### Showing/hiding the floating total

If the total is not helpful in your particular workflow, you can hide it by hovering over it and clicking `Hide`.

To show the total again, go to the `View` menu and choose `Show Total`.

#### Changing the statistic type

You can also show the average, count and median of your lines by control-clicking on the floating total and choosing an alternative statistic.
