Definition
结算 (jiésuàn) is a formal verb for settling accounts or closing accounts, used in business and finance. It is more formal than 结账 (jiézhàng, HSK4), which is the everyday word for paying a bill. 算账 (suànzhàng, HSK7) can mean 'do accounts' or figuratively 'settle a score,' while 结算 stays strictly financial.
