In Brazilian business and retail contexts, 'subtotal' is widely recognized and used, particularly in invoicing, point-of-sale systems, and financial documents. It has become a standard term in Portuguese-speaking commercial environments, often used interchangeably with the English term. In Portugal, there may be slightly more emphasis on using 'soma parcial' in formal contexts, though 'subtotal' is still commonly understood.
