Common verbs used with 'Gesamtwert' (total value) are 'berechnen' (to calculate), 'ermitteln' (to determine), 'schätzen' (to estimate), and 'betragen' (to amount to). They describe determining or stating the value.

sum
'die Summe' and 'der Gesamtwert' can both have to do with added-up numbers or amounts of money. 'die Summe' mainly refers to the amount or the result of an addition. 'der Gesamtwert' emphasizes the value of all parts together, for example of goods, jewelry, or a collection. They can be confused because the total value is often expressed as a sum. For a calculation or an amount of money, people often say 'Summe'. When it is about the value of several things, 'Gesamtwert' is more precise.
