you beginning balance is from the last statement.

The total after purchases is what you owe.

Gha? I'm still confused.

595.95+575.31 = 1171.26..

So basically, why is the balance listed as beginning as of today of $575.31, so much less than the current balance of $1276.04? Shouldn't they be the same?

You bought 21.64 of stuff at Fry's. So your balance is 596.95. And you didn't pay off your bill or you're carrying a balance, which means your total you owe them is 1276.04. You have a credit limit of 1500, which means you can charge 202 to your card (and the rest has be covered in interest assuming you don't pay again).
