totting up
Summing the figures
Totting up is the act of adding figures together to reach a sum: She spent the morning totting up the receipts.
The phrase suggests informal or rough calculation rather than precise accounting.
In British traffic law, totting up refers to accumulating penalty points on a license until disqualification is triggered.
