    {
        person.Tempo3 = db.persons.Sum(o => o.Tempo1 * o.Tempo2);
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {

            db.persons.Add(person);

Try something like this :

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Person person)
{

    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        newPerson = new db.persons {Tempo1 = person.Tempo1, Tempo2 = person.Tempo2};
        newPerson.Tempo3 = peson.Tempo1 * person.Tempo2; 

        db.persons.Add(newPerson);
        db.SaveChanges();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");  
    }

    return View(person);
}
