Hello!
I need help with a fill form I created.
It's to be used as an order form for candles.
I have a "total" field and figured out how to calculate the unit cost x the quantity number but then, I also have a column of "testers" that the customer can choose to add to their order.
I've tried several different ways to be able to have the "total" field calculate those 2 fields but can't figure it out. Basically I need (unit x qty + (tester) qty)
Thanks.

Did you try to use simplified field notation (SFN)?
In SFN you just enter field name: field1*field2+field3, if you have space character in your field name escape it with backslash like this "Unit cost1" write like this: Unit\ cost1.
If you have "sequential naming" of your fields: price1, price2, price3...etc you can use a custom calculation script in total field to loop over all fields and calculate price for each item and total with one script.
