You would need to create formula fields to calculate both of these values. And since the values we are dealing with a currency values, the return type for these formula fields would need to be specified with a Return Type of Currency. This will present the values in the proper currency and formatting and will be dynamically derived, based on the value of the opportunity and the calculations contained within the formula.
