Hi Carmen,

Just a few thoughts:

If the amount is updated using JavaScript, I probably wouldn't use
aria-describedby to link the form elements with the amount. If a
screenreader is browsing the form element without activating it, the
amount may be incorrect if the JavaScript update event hasn't been
triggered.

Also, a bit pedantic this, but it's good protocol to position
radiobuttons and checkboxes to the left of their labels. Some screen
magnifier users, especially if the text size is increased
dramatically, stick near the left margin so they can scroll straight
down the page, and they might miss your radiobuttons.

Cheers - have a great weekend.

Lynn
