how to calculate formula field in sobject?

Hi,

Formula fields are automatically calculated. So every time you visit the record you will see the updated/new values.

Thanks,

Hi sivakoteswararao,

Basically a formula field  is used to  automatically calculate the value of a field based on other fields.So whenever you want to calculate a value based on other fields then you can create a formula field .
In formula you can use values of fields, operators, functions, literal values, or other formulas and frame a formula according to your requirements.

Please refer below link which might help you further.
