Try:

SQL

SELECT Eid, EName, ESalary AS BS,
(ESalary+ESalary*0.15+ESalary*0.235) AS GS
FROM dbo.tbl_Emp

Given that I came up with the same results, I will not submit another duplicate.
However, I will like to add in that the GS calculation can be simplified using the commutative property into GS = (eSalary * 1.385)

Solution 2

SELECT 
Eid, EName, ESalary As BS, (ESalary + (ESalary * 0.15) + (ESalary * 0.235)) as GS
FROM 
dbo.tbl_Emp
