It's actually easier than that. If you just want to upgrade an item (like a +1 sword into a +2 holy sword), it costs the total cost minus the original enchantment cost. Page 242, DMG.
However, if you want to add a second power to a slot-occupying item (as opposed to upgrading it to a higher form of the same power), you take the higher cost plus twice the lower cost [P. 243, DMG, plus errata]). However, even in this case, you take the total adjusted cost minus the original cost as what you'll have to pay.

If you add an ability to a magic item, or create an item which takes up no slots (the same thing really) it cost double. Ex making boots of striding & springing into boots of striding, springing, and spider climbing costs 2000 gp 2*(2000gp /2) and 160 exp 2*(2000/ 25).
The exception to this is armor, shields and weapons. In that case it costs (cost to make new item-cost of old item). Ex +1 -> +2 armor costs 1500 gp (4000-1000/2) and 120 exp (4000-1000/25)
