grand total

Everything added together

Grand total is the final sum when all components have been added together.

It implies completeness—not a subtotal or partial figure, but the whole amount: The grand total came to $47,000.

Grand emphasizes scale or finality, distinguishing this sum from intermediate calculations along the way.
