Unless there are reasons why the Table has to stay at the top of the sheet, you could simply move it down a few rows to make room for the supplementary calculation.

PeterBartholomew1 thank you, but you have to dumb it down for me, ha!
I'd like to leave tables as is, my boss likes it for now.

The main problem could be that I use defined Names rather than cell references to refer to data. From the picture it seems that I have used the name 'Total' for cell $D$2 and 'deduction' for cell $D$3. 'Values' refers to the column $D$7:$D$106. I inserted rows at the top of the sheet to display the additional calculation but you could squeeze it in anywhere convenient to you and it works the same.
p.s. I use defined Names because a care what my data represents and have no interest at all in where it's located. Most others disagree.
