Attached document contains the details
I don't know where you get the $86.42 difference, but your total of $298.95 - $75.48 = $223.47, which is your payment total.
The math is a bit funky just because the way credit card payments are done and the way the report adds up the transactions.
When you think about it the $223.47 payment has very little to do with the transactions that are being shown. The payment is for last month and the transactions are for this month, but they are being added together.
What you don't have here that makes it make more sense is the running balance.
You start with -309.98 and then -11.81, so the balance is now -321.7 then you added 223.47 and now you are at -98.23. If you are at -98.23 at this one and the only positive value after that is the 62.21 which is offset by the -62.21 then how is the total -75.48?
It is -75.48 because the report isn't using the -309.89 in the calculation. It is just summing up the transactions that happened this month, and that includes your payment that really is applied to last month's transactions.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply which is very educational. I've been a Quicken user for 36 years and still learning something new. I also discovered something else that threw my calculations off in reaching $385.37 credit card balance due that wasn't coinciding with the transaction report. My credit card statement was for the period 4-26-26 to 5-25-26 so that is the date I entered when creating the transaction report. In cross checking the statement entries and the transaction entries there was a transaction on the credit card statement on 04-24-26 that didn't appear on the Quicken transaction report because I used the opening and closing date on the credit card statement.
Thanks again for the lesson
The $86.42 is the difference between the -$309.89 and the $223.47 payment amount.
It's now falling into place. Thanks for the reply
