Default Using a formula in mail merge

Hi,
New to the forum as I am looking for an answer on using one field to change another. Not the sharpest tool in the shed so would appreciate any help.
I have created a merge document to send to tenants when it is time to renew their lease. If they don't renew the lease they go to a month-to-month payment at an increased rent of $20.00 more per month. I have inserted a field to show the current rent, say $500.00. How do I make a second field to show that the rent will increase to $520.00 if they don't renew the lease and go to a month-to-month payment schedule?

Thanks for any help available.

Got it figured out, I think
This is what I did,

I hit ALT+F9 to get squiggly parenthesis
entered {={ MERGEFIELD monthly_rent }+20}
monthly_rent was the name of my field in the document

seems to be working great.
