Word origin

小计 (xiǎojì, "subtotal") combines 小 (xiǎo, "small") with 计 (jì, "calculate"), treating one limited part of an account as its own calculation.

Usage tips

  • In shopping apps and invoices, recognizing this stage helps locate the amount before extra charges or reductions are applied, rather than mistaking it for the payment amount.
