         $('ul.addon > li :checked').each(function() {
           allVals.push($(this).val());
           });
            return allVals;
      }
     $(function() {
       $('ul.addon > li > input').click(getCheck);
       getCheck();

If you need to add and subtract the value of a checkbox on the checkbox click,try the code below.Hope this is what you meant.

var allVals = [];
$('input:checkbox[name=addons]').each(function() {
           allVals.push($(this).val());
 });//Gets the complete List of values

//Adds and subtracts the value on click

 var curr_value=0;
    $("input:checkbox[name=addons]").on('click',function() {
         if($(this).is(":checked") == false){
            curr_value = curr_value -$(this).val();

        }

         if($(this).is(":checked") == true){
            curr_value = curr_value + +$(this).val();
        }
        alert(curr_value);//Contains the added values of the checked boxes 

    });

I hope i understand your question well enough, but you want to add the value when checked and minus the value when not checked? Try this:

var value = 0;

$('input[type="checkbox"]').change(function()
{
    if($(this).is(':checked'))
    {
        value += parseInt($(this).val());
    }
    else
    {
        value -= parseInt($(this).val());  
    }

    alert(value);
})

On status change of the checkbox i validate the status(checked or not checked). When checked i som the value else i will minus the value.
