I'm new in VB programming I did wrote this code so far but for some reason the senior does not calculate. Any help will greatly appreciate. This is what I'm trying to accomplished.
"basic monthly cost of a membership is $100 for adults and $75 for seniors. Members must choose a level of membership { Gold, which adds $300 to the cost of the membership; Silver, which adds $250 to the cost; or Bronze, which adds $150."

Public Class frmMembership

    Private Sub btnCalculate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalculate.Click
        ' Names

        ' radAdult
        ' radSenior
        ' radGold
        ' radSilver
        ' radBronze
        ' btnCalculate
        ' txtMthFee

        ' Variables
        Dim fee As Double
        Dim adult As Double
        Dim senior As Double

        ' input from the membership
        'adult = CDbl(radAdult.Text) ' Monthly Cost
        'senior = CDbl(radSenior.Text) ' Monthly Cost
        'radAdult.Text = CStr(fee)
        fee = CDbl(fee)

        ' Calculate 
        ' fee = (txtMthFee.Text)

        ' Function
        If radAdult.Checked Then
            adult = 100
        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            senior = 75
        End If

        ' add Monthly Membership
        If radGold.Checked Then
            fee = adult + 300
        ElseIf radSilver.Checked Then
            fee = adult + 250
        ElseIf radBronze.Checked Then
            fee = adult + 150
        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 300
        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 250
        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 150
        End If

        ' Display output
        txtMthFee.Text = CStr(fee)

I think u had done it wrong in here

' add Monthly Membership
        If radGold.Checked Then
            fee = adult + 300
        ElseIf radSilver.Checked Then
            fee = adult + 250
        ElseIf radBronze.Checked Then
            fee = adult + 150
        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 300
        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 250
        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 150
        End If

Why the radSenior.Checked had been repeated for several time?

Because,

adult and senior needs to choose membership. Gold, which adds $300 to the cost of the membership; Silver, which adds $250 to the cost; or Bronze, which adds $150."

Ya.. I know.. but your last three conditions shouldn't it be

ElseIf radGold.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 300
        ElseIf radSilver.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 250
        ElseIf radBronze.Checked Then
            fee = senior + 150

Or you can add the condition right after you had checked either adult or senior button had been checked, like

If radAdult.Checked Then
            adult = 100

         'your membership condition here

        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            senior = 75
        End If

That is just my suggestion on how I will do it.

Hi BlurrieBlue,

Hi, you may try it like this.

If radAdult.Checked = True Then
            adult = 100
            If radGold.Checked = True Then
                fee = adult + 300
            End If
            If radSilver.Checked = True Then
                fee = adult + 250
            End If
            If radBronze.Checked = True Then
                fee = adult + 150
            End If
        End If

        If radSenior.Checked = True Then
            senior = 75
            If radGold.Checked = True Then
                fee = senior + 300
            End If
            If radSilver.Checked = True Then
                fee = senior + 250
            End If
            If radBronze.Checked = True Then
                fee = senior + 150
            End If
        End If

        txtMthFee.Text = CStr(fee)

First of all the basic cost doesn't change, so it doesn't have to be in an if statement.
What needs to go in that if statement is if you are adding the adult or the senior cost to the membership.

I'm assuming that this is an exercise for IFs, so I'm not using select case.

' Variables
        Dim fee As Double
        Dim basic_fee as Double
        Dim membership_cost As Double

        If radAdult.Checked Then
            basic_fee = 100
        ElseIf radSenior.Checked Then
            basic_fee = 75
        Else txtMthFee.Text = "Please select your subscription category" 'Change this to whatever you want, but unless you've set one of the 2 as selected by default you need it. If you've set a default then you don't need 2 IFs, but only 1 as there is only 1 alternative
        exit sub 'So that the txtMthFee won't display the wrong number
        End If

        ' Monthly Membership

        If radGold.Checked Then
            membership_cost = 300
        ElseIf radSilver.Checked Then
            membership_cost = 250
        ElseIf radBronze.Checked Then
            membership_cost = 150
        Else txtMthFee.Text = "Please select your membership level" 'Change this to whatever you want, but unless you've set a default you need it. 
        exit sub 'So that the txtMthFee won't display the wrong number
        End If

fee = basic_fee + membership_cost

        ' Display output
        txtMthFee.Text = CStr(fee)
