English term or phrase: at its right figure
Hello dear colleagues,

I´d appreciate your help with the following term... again, at this time of the day, my mind is going blank!

This is a quote from C. H. Spurgeon (Lectures to My Students)
“The first sign of the heavenly calling is an intense, all-absorbing desire for the work. In order to be a true call to the ministry there must be an irresistible, overwhelming craving and raging thirst for telling to others what God has done to our own souls... It must continue with us when tempting offers of wealth and comfort come into conflict with it, and remain as a calm, clear-headed resolve after everything has been estimated ***at its right figure,*** and the cost thoroughly counted.”

Thank you!

en su cifra correcta / en su total correcto


Explanation:
after everything has been estimated ***at its right figure,*** and the cost thoroughly counted.”

Literalmente, “estimated at its right figure” = “calculado en su cifra correcta”

Estoy de acuerdo con la interpretación de Jorge. Aporto un par de versiones en las que una traducción más o menos literal (duplicando la metáfora original) puede funcionar:

una vez que todo haya sido estimado/calculado de forma ecuánime y se haya determinado el coste concienzudamente.

una vez que todo haya sido calculado con precisión ***hasta su última cifra*** y se haya determinado el coste concienzudamente.
