It is called the digital sum. If you keep doing it until you reach a single digit answer, it is called a digital root. The term digital root is sometimes also used for the digital sum.

For example,

3042 gives the digital sum of 3+0+4+2 = 9 which is also its digital root.

but

3047 gives the digital sum of 3+0+4+7 = 14 and the digital root is 1+4 = 5.
