I posted the following on Stack Overflow:

I recommend using the following range formula:

| Year (Beginn) |    Price | Increase |
|---------------+----------+----------|
|          2016 | 20000.00 |  1000.00 |
|          2017 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2018 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2019 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2020 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2021 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2022 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2023 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2024 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2025 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2026 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2027 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2028 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2029 |          |  1000.00 |
|          2030 |          |  1000.00 |
|---------------+----------+----------|
#+TBLFM: @<<<$2..@>$2=@<<$0+2*vsum(@<<$3..@-1$3);%.2f

You could write a recursive formula, but that would propagate one row at a
time. Even org-table-iterate (C-u C-u C-c * on any table cell) would have
to be called more than once, since it stops after 10 iterations.
