It's because inside your .each statement you are re-selecting *all*
checked boxes again, so
$('input[name=additionals]:checked').each(function() {
amountdue += parseFloat( $(this).val() );
});
Check out the documentation of ".each()", where it will explain that
inside the loop, "this" is the current DOM item being enumerated by
the each()
