count up
Add one by one
To count up is to tally items or numbers, reaching a total by adding incrementally: Count up how many chairs we need.
It can also mean to count in ascending order, starting from a lower number: The timer counts up from zero.
The phrase emphasizes the process of accumulation rather than the final sum.
