When I am shopping for another person as well as for myself, I ask the clerk to ring up the items for my friend, subtotal , and continue with my items. I pay the bill and then collect from my friend, without having to add up his charges in doing so. The subtotal is the total "so far", with more additions (or subtractions) to follow.

Unless there are other items on the bill, use "total."
Your subtotal for labor is $240. Your subtotal for part is $120. With tax, your total bill comes comes to $167.20.
