    </tr>

$('#tab').click(function(){
   sum();

function sum(){
 //????
}

How is the best method for sum column from second and fourth TD and fill in to third TD for each TR?

function sum(){
    $("tr").each(function(){
        var sum = parseFloat($(this).find("td:eq(1)").text()) + 
                  parseFloat($(this).find("td:eq(3)").text());
        $(this).find("td:eq(2)").text(sum);
    })
}

Here, have a fiddle: http://jsfiddle/bYf8C/10/

demo: http://jsfiddle/bYf8C/2/

$('#tab').click(function(){
   sum();
})

function sum(){
    $('#tab').find('tr').each(function(){
        var first = $(this).children('td:eq(1)').text(),
            second = $(this).children('td:eq(3)').text();

        $(this).children('td:eq(2)').html(function(){
          return parseInt(first) + parseInt(second);
        });
    });
}

As Bojangles suggested in the ments, children() is faster than find(), and :eq is faster than :nth-child. My edit reflects that.

Here it is:

$(function() {
  $('#tab').on('click', function sum() {
    $('tr', this).each(function(index, tr) {
      var td1, td3;
      td1 = parseInt(tr.children[1].textContent, 10);
      td3 = parseInt(tr.children[3].textContent, 10);
      tr.children[2].innerHTML = td1 + td3;
    });
  });
});

Example: http://jsbin./uvuzeq/1/edit

function sum(){
   $('#tab tr').each(function() {
      var number1 = parseInt($(this).find("td").eq(1).html()); 
      var number2 = parseInt($(this).find("td").eq(3).html());
      $(this).find("td").eq(2).html(number1 + number2)
   });
}
