I am a beginner and am trying to create an order form on
our website that can calculate the numbers for me but am
unable to find out how this can be done. Is it easy and
where do I start. I cannot find anything in the help
menu to assist me.
 
See http://www.websunlimited.com for their Math Calculation component.

You would have to program this in JavaScript on the
browser, or in a server-side programming environment such
as ASP, ASP.NET, or PHP.

I usually go with a server-side solution. That way I don't
need to worry about browser compatibility or about Web
visitors looking at my program code (i.e. pricing logic).

In many cases, depending on how you want to process the
incoming orders, you need to do server-side programming
anyway.
