Perhaps a “hybrid form” could work here depending on how many calculations you’re wanting to display?

The setup: Helper Table for the form Show New Screen → Helper Table (Or Show Detail Screen → Single Value → Helper Table → Whole Row ) Entry components → User Specific columns for any entry that needs live relations/lookups/calculations Form Container to finish off the form experience After Submit Action → Close Overlay/Show Notification/Etc.
