How do I get my Java GUI to calculate fields properly?

I am not running into any errors but nothing happens when I run the program. Any help would be appreciated. I just need to be able to add a starting balance and then calculate a deposit or withdraw.

package account;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

class GUI implements ActionListener{

JTextField txt, txt2, txt3;
JButton submit;
JLabel balance;
double Balance = 0.00;

GUI(){
    JFrame main = new JFrame("Account GUI ");
    main.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    txt = new JTextField(10);
    txt2 = new JTextField(10);
    txt3 = new JTextField(10);

    JPanel gui = new JPanel(new BorderLayout(8,8));
    gui.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(8,8,8,8));
    main.setContentPane(gui);

    JPanel labels = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
    JPanel controls = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
    gui.add(labels, BorderLayout.WEST);
    gui.add(controls, BorderLayout.CENTER);

    labels.add(new JLabel("Starting Balance"));
    controls.add(txt);
    txt.addActionListener(this);
    labels.add(new JLabel("Deposit Amount: "));
    controls.add(txt2);
    txt2.addActionListener(this);
    labels.add(new JLabel("Withdraw Amount: "));
    controls.add(txt3);
    txt3.addActionListener(this);

    submit = new JButton("Submit");
    gui.add(submit, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    balance = new JLabel("New Balance    " + Balance);
    gui.add(balance,BorderLayout.NORTH);
    submit.addActionListener(this);

    main.pack();
    main.setVisible(true);
 }
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
    if (txt!=null){
        double strtblnc = Double.parseDouble(txt.getText());
        Balance = Balance + strtblnc;
    }
        else if (txt2!=null){
            double dpst = Double.parseDouble(txt2.getText());
            Balance = Balance + dpst;
        }
        else if(txt3!=null){
                double wthdrw = Double.parseDouble(txt3.getText());
                Balance = Balance - wthdrw;
 }
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
    GUI test = new GUI();
}       
}

The reason why you are not receiving a new balance number is because you are never actually resetting the text to your JLabel. When you originally initialized: 

balance = new JLabel("New Balance " + Balance);

You set Balance to 0.00. With that being said, you will need to add:

balance.setText("New Balance " + Balance);

to give you the updated Balance.

I also noticed that the code you posted did not work if you left a text field blank. Look at the updated code below and try this.

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {

 double strtblnc; 
 double dpst; 
 double wthdrw;

 String sTxt = txt.getText();
 String sTxt2 = txt2.getText();
 String sTxt3 = txt3.getText();

 if(sTxt.isEmpty())
     sTxt = "0";

 if(sTxt2.isEmpty())
     sTxt2 = "0";

 if(sTxt3.isEmpty())
     sTxt3 = "0";


 dpst = Double.parseDouble(sTxt2);//parses deposit;
 strtblnc  = Double.parseDouble(sTxt); //parses starting balance;
 wthdrw = Double.parseDouble(sTxt3); //parses withdraw;

 Balance = Balance + strtblnc + dpst - wthdrw;
 balance.setText("New Balance    " + Balance);    
}
