jQuery equations for dropdown selections

Ok, well basically I have a jquery dialog, in that dialog it asks questions such as, are you planning to stay on campus, are you an in-state/out-of-state student, and how many years are you planning on attending. Based on the users selection, I want it to total up the cost by the value of (tutuion + Room & Board) * years based on the dropdowns.

This is what I have so far..

if ( bValid ) {
        $( "#users tbody" ).append( "<tr>" +
            "<td>" + username.val() + "</td>" +
            "<td>" + $('#studenttut>option:selected').val() + "</td>" +
            "<td>" + $('#campusrb>option:selected').val() + "</td>" +
            "<td>" + $('#yearsatten>option:selected').val() + "</td>" +
        "</tr>" );
        $( this ).dialog( "close" );
      }
    },

Those are my values in jquery, is there a simple equation I can throw in to calculate the total cost of college? Please and Thank you.

If you want to add many values in javascript you must use parseint()

Example: total = parseInt(student.opt1)+parseInt(student.opt2);
