When do column value formulas evaluate

Let’s say a have a column, “my_number”, and I then have another column called “my_number_plus_2”, with the formula [my_number] + 2.

It seems that I first have to create a record, with a value in “my_number”, then open the record back up to edit it before the formula in “my_number_plus_2” evaluates. If I just add a record, with a value in “my_number”, the “my_number_plus_2” column will still be empty. I need to re-open the record, as if I am goin to edit it, for the formula to evaluate.

Is this expected? How can I get a formula to run based on values entered during record creation?
