This kind of thing is often done using views and rules. For example,
CREATE TABLE tb1_real ( id serial primary key, value numeric, subtot numeric
);
CREATE VIEW tb1 AS
SELECT id, value
FROM tb1_real;
CREATE RULE tb1_insert AS
ON INSERT TO tb1 DO INSTEAD
INSERT INTO tb1_real (id, value, subtot)
VALUES (COALESCE(NEW.id, nextval('tb1_real_id_seq')), NEW.value, NEW.value + COALESCE((SELECT subtot FROM tb1_real
ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1), 0));
/* ahammond@[local]:5432/ahammond =# */ INSERT INTO tb1 (value) VALUES (20);
INSERT 60812 1
/* ahammond@[local]:5432/ahammond =# */ INSERT INTO tb1 (value) VALUES
(-10);
INSERT 60813 1
/* ahammond@[local]:5432/ahammond =# */ SELECT * FROM tb1;id | value
- ----+------- 1 | 20 2 | -10
(2 rows)
/* ahammond@[local]:5432/ahammond =# */ SELECT * FROM tb1_real;id | value | subtot
- ----+-------+-------- 1 | 20 | 20 2 | -10 | 10
(2 rows)
