Help with building a calculated table

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help with this issue I've been struggling with. I'm trying to build a table in PowerBI desktop that shows inflation figures and then a calculated column, which shows a value based on the annual inflation figure - see table below. 

 

I've built the first 3 columns with no problem, but struggling with the Earnings Value column.

 

The starting figure is £37.45 and that is fixed, but the other values from row 2 onwards have the inflation figure applied to it. I've tried several formulas, but cannot work out how to calculate the year-on-year increase to replicate the Earnings Value column.

 

Can anyone help?

@Saes Try this:

Column =
VAR res_ = CALCULATE(((37.45*SUM(TableB[Inflation Figure])))+37.45,FILTER((TableB),TableB[September Inflation Year]<=EARLIER(TableB[September Inflation Year])))
RETURN IF(TableB[September Inflation Year]=1998,37.45,res_)

@Saes Try this Measure:

Earning measure = CALCULATE(((SUM(TableB[Earning Value])*SUM(TableB[Inflation Figure])))+SUM(TableB[Earning Value]),FILTER(ALL(TableB),TableB[September Inflation Year]<=Max(TableB[September Inflation Year])))

Thanks @Tahreem24 , but I require a calculated column, as it will be referenced by other data sets in the work flow.

@Saes  For calculated column you need to replace MAX with Earlier and remove ALL.

 

Earning Column = CALCULATE(((SUM(TableB[Earning Value])*SUM(TableB[Inflation Figure])))+SUm(TableB[Earning Value]),FILTER((TableB),TableB[September Inflation Year]<=EARLIER(TableB[September Inflation Year])))

Thanks @Tahreem24 , apologies, I think there may be some confusion. It's the Earnings Value column that I'm trying to replicate, rather than creating another column.

@Saes Yeah, I created Earning Value column and put only single value of 37.45 for first year manually. Then created that DAX on top of it. Attaching screen shot for your reference.

Thanks @Tahreem24 for clarifying. Is the calculated column reliant on having the Earning Value column already in place? The column I require is to calculate the Earning Value rather than duplicating an existing column. 

i.e. I know the dates, inflation figures and that the 1998 figure is $37.45 only. I need to be able to calculate the remaining figures based on this. Apologies if I've misunderstood or my post was not clear.

@Saes Try this:

Column =
VAR res_ = CALCULATE(((37.45*SUM(TableB[Inflation Figure])))+37.45,FILTER((TableB),TableB[September Inflation Year]<=EARLIER(TableB[September Inflation Year])))
RETURN IF(TableB[September Inflation Year]=1998,37.45,res_)
