Calculations aren't adding up unless I add another number to a different field.

I'm having problems with calculations on a travel form.  The form is 2 pages.  The first pages lists places traveled and the number of miles.  The 2nd page has the remaining travel expenses such as lodging, meals, etc.  I have one field that adds up the number of miles from the 1st page.  This field adds up correctly.  A 2nd field has the current mileage rate ($0.50/mi). 

 

A 3rd field is suppose to calculate the payment for the mileage (product of miles*mileage rate).  It doesn't calculate the number correctly.  However, if I add another expense total in a different field, such as Registration fee or meals,  the number recalulates correctly.

    Check the calculation order, depending on which version you are using it should be under something like Forms:Edit Fields:Set Calculation Order

     

    Make sure the fields which calculate the subtotals come vefore your total payment calculation.
