Significado
Asking for the final price.
Contexto cultural
Prices in Denmark are very transparent. The price on the tag always includes the 25% VAT (moms). You never have to calculate tax at the register. Denmark is nearly 100% cashless. Even at small markets, people use MobilePay. Asking for the total is often the cue to open your app. Haggling is not common in regular shops, but expected at 'loppemarkeder' (flea markets). This phrase is your best tool there. While Danish is used, local currencies (though pegged to the DKK) and local customs might vary, but the phrase remains standard for trade.
The 'Så' Trick
Add 'så' (then) to sound more natural: 'Hvad koster det så i alt?'
Don't say 'i alle'
A common mistake is using the plural 'alle'. Stick to 'alt' for totals.
