            $('input.checkbox:checked').each(function() {

You should replace your code to this

var selectedCheckboxValue = 0;
$('input.checkbox:checked').each(function() { 
   selectedCheckboxValue += parseInt($(this).val()); 
});

See here this works fine

To sum the values of selected checkboxes you can get the values but first convert them to integer like:

$('body').on('click', '.done', function() {
  //declare a variable to sum the values of checked checkboxes
  var sum = 0;
  $('input.checkbox:checked').each(function() {
    //you can first convert to int before sum them
    sum += ~~$(this).val();

  });
  //add the result
  $('.filter-selected-count').text(sum);

});
