Thanks for your help. You are right, there should be a calculate button, but the stakeholders don't want another button on the web page.
But I figured out a dirty way to handle this. I'm using a hidden field to distinguish between display and calculate.

Why does your code get executed in both cases? Execute it only when the user hits the display button (ie on display you populate the data from the DB). If the user wants to put in another value and calculate that he should hit a calculate button, resulting in execution of another action.
