To calculate the total staff and project the total staff looking forward, use the $add operator on the nested totalStaff object to return the desired results.

db.stores.aggregate([
  { $match: { "_id": "40d6f4d7-50cd-4929-9a07-0a7a133c2e74" } },
  {
    $project: {
      name: 1,
      currentTotalStaff: {
        $add: ["$staff.totalStaff.fullTime", "$staff.totalStaff.partTime"]
      },
      projectedNextYearStaff: {
        $add: [
          "$staff.totalStaff.fullTime",
          "$staff.totalStaff.partTime",
          2
        ]
      }
    }
  }
])

This query returns the following result:

[
  {
    "_id": "40d6f4d7-50cd-4929-9a07-0a7a133c2e74",
    "name": "Proseware, Inc. | Home Entertainment Hub - East Linwoodbury",
    "currentTotalStaff": 39,
    "projectedNextYearStaff": 41
  }
]
