合计 (hé jì) — to add up, to total; to consider, to ponder, to figure out

Definition

合计 covers two senses: 'to add up / total' (a number), and 'to think / figure out' a plan. The math sense is close to 总计/共计 (totaling an amount); the thinking sense is lighter than 思考 — more about working something out than reflecting deeply.
