“Calculation” in Korean is 계산 (kyesan).

Working out numbers or items to reach a total or answer, including the amount settled when paying.

저는 아까 식대 계산을 했어요.cheo neun a kka sik ttae kye sa neul hae sseo yo

I settled the meal bill earlier.

In everyday shopping, the word can mean settling the bill, so context shows whether it refers to finding an answer or paying for goods.
