Total jitter (''T'') is the combination of random jitter (''R'') and deterministic jitter (''D'') and is computed in the context to a required [[bit error rate]] (BER) for the system:<ref>{{cite web |title=The Meaning of Total Jitter |first=Ransom |last=Stephens |url=http://www.ransomsnotes.com/index_htm_files/RansomStephensJitter360Pt1TheMeaningOfTotalJitter.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://www.ransomsnotes.com/index_htm_files/RansomStephensJitter360Pt1TheMeaningOfTotalJitter.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live |publisher=[[Tektronix]] |access-date=2018-07-17}}</ref>

:{{math|1=''T'' = ''D''<sub>peak-to-peak</sub> + 2''nR''<sub>rms</sub>}},

in which the value of ''n'' is based on the BER required of the link.

A common BER used in communication standards such as [[Ethernet]] is 10<sup>−12</sup>.
