Hi @Ahmed_Elagami,

Adam from Airtable here.

I made a short video for you here: Screen Recording 2021-05-06...

Additionally, here’s a link to the formula field reference support article as well as the formula I used:

IF({Count submissions}=1, 
 400, 
  IF({Count submissions}=2,
   520,
    IF({Count submissions}>=3,
    520+(60*({Count submissions}-2))
        ) 
      )
    )

Hope that helps you gather some ideas~~
