totaalsom

Totaalsom is a term in Dutch used to denote the final aggregated sum of multiple elements. It is commonly found in mathematical, financial, and data reporting contexts.

The term is a compound of totaal meaning total and som meaning sum. In Dutch, it is typically used as a noun; in software interfaces the form Totaalsom may appear as a label for the field or result.

In mathematics, totaalsom refers to the sum of a specified collection of numbers, such as items in a list or terms in a sequence. In accounting and budgeting, it represents the grand total of line items or subtotals and is sometimes used interchangeably with the Dutch term totaalbedrag or with the English grand total.

In practice the totaalsom is produced by summation operations, where values are added together. In spreadsheet software, the SUM function is used and the resulting cell might be labeled totaalsom on Dutch-language worksheets.
