In XSLT 1.1, you can do it by creating a node set with the calculated values in it, and then summing that: <xsl:variable name="subtotals"> <xsl:for-each select="item"> <subtotal><xsl:value-of select="price * qty" /></subtotal> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> Total: <xsl:value-of select="sum($subtotals/subtotal)" /> You can do this now using the node-set extension function in most XSLT processors. For example in MSXML you can do: <xsl:variable name="subtotals"> <xsl:for-each select="item"> <subtotal><xsl:value-of select="price * qty" /></subtotal> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> Total: <xsl:value-of select="sum(msxsl:node-set($subtotals)/subtotal)" /> Both of these methods require you to run through the entire set of items twice, but they won't respond too terribly when you add lots more items and they're possibly a little easier to grasp than a recursive template.
