This sounds like a spreadsheet. Are the formulas in spreadsheets now?
Could they be?

Could you work with the spreadsheets programatically, putting the
input values in the appropriate cells and getting the output values
out of the calculated cells?

That way the formulas wouldn't be embedded in the code. You could
change them easily. In fact, YOU wouldn't even have to worry about
changing the formulas. Just let the business people edit the
spreadsheets themselves.

I did something like that a few years ago. I had no idea how the
formulas worked. In fact the forumlas were developed in paralell to my
front end code.
