           txtTotal.Text = Convert.ToString(tot);
           int a = 0;
           if (comboBox1.SelectedIndex == 0)
           {
               a =(tot * 1) / 3;
               txtNet.Text = Convert.ToString(a);

If you have a problem like this, always set a break-point before the error occurs, and then single-step through the code examining the values of the variables used.

Hi
Try like this, cpallini is right..

Its better to Trim the values when you are reading from Textboxes.

C#

int tot = 0;
            int pay, gp, da;
            int.TryParse(txtPay.Text.Trim(), out pay);
            int.TryParse(txtGp.Text.Trim(), out gp);
            int.TryParse(txtDa.Text.Trim(), out pay);
            tot = pay + gp + da;

Solution 1

One (or more) of your text boxes contains a string value that is not convertible to an int. You may either catch the exception or use the Int32.TryParse method[^].
