What is the text in the TotalCashEmoluments control?
What is the result displayed in the AFTotal control?

the text in the TotalCashEmoluments is a number and the Result in AFTotal is 0

Yes, but what is the text in the TotalCashEmoluments control?

We cannot see your screen. You need to tell us what the text is.

the text is 1000

I've just tried the following code:
Val("1000") * Val(0.05)

The output, as expected, is 50.

Either there are other characters in the textbox which you haven't told us about, or your computer's regional settings are set to a culture which cannot recognize the string "1000" as a valid number.

Debug your code. Assign Val(TotalCashEmoluments.Text) to a temporary variable, and see what value it gets. If it's 0, then double-check the TotalCashEmoluments.Text value.

Use decimal.TryParse to convert the text to decimals

Then use decimal.Multiply to multiply them
