How do you create a calculated form field option that sum the input data of
other form fields?

Say you have three fields. Two for inputs and one for the sum.

Double click the first two, set type to number, check calculate on exit,
note the bookmark names (which will be text1 and text2 by default).

Double click the third field and set type to calculation. In the expression
window type: =text1+text2

Protect the document and Bob's your uncle.

You don't actually need a form field for the calculation. A Word formula
field will work just as well eg

{={Text1} + {Text2} \# "$,0.00"}

Check the calculate on exit property of both Text1 and Text2. The formatting
switch is optional.
