Environment:
Phoca Cart 6.1.5
Joomla 6.1.2
PHP 8.5.9
Tax settings (all confirmed via Options screenshots):
Tax Calculation: Tax Inclusive Price (Brutto)
Tax Calculation (Sales): Tax Inclusive Amount (Brutto)
Tax Calculation (Sales) - Change Subtotal: No
Tax Recapitulation: Change total amount and rounding in calculation
Issue:
On the checkout page (#ph-pc-checkout-box), the .ph-checkout-cart-brutto field shows the same value as .ph-checkout-cart-netto, instead of netto + tax.
Example from a real order:
.ph-checkout-cart-netto: € 28,57
.ph-checkout-cart-tax: € 5,43
.ph-checkout-cart-brutto: € 28,57 (expected: € 34,00)
The order total at the bottom of the checkout page is calculated correctly (subtotal € 89,91 + tax € 17,09 = € 107,00, matching the original brutto product prices).
Important clue: the mini-cart module (mod_phocacart_cart, the dropdown cart in the header) calculates and displays the brutto amount correctly for the same cart contents. Only the checkout page view shows the incorrect brutto = netto value per line item. This suggests the two views may use different calculation logic for the per-line brutto amount.
Tested with a completely fresh session/browser (Brave, no cache) to rule out caching — issue persists.
Checkout: brutto amount equals netto amount (tax not added) — cart module calculates correctly, checkout page does not

Hi, can you paste screenshot of what do you exactly mean?
Maybe it is related to X and Y calculation type:

As default, Phoca Cart uses Y type.

Hi, No problem. Attached 2 screendump with also the inspect in it. One how it will be (with netto and tax hidden), and the other screenshot without them hidden.

BTW, when you switch to standard template, do you get the same output?
