Hello Excel guru's

Please help! I'm going mad trying to figure this out.....!

I'm trying to work out how to allocate bonuses per quarter out of a pool of money:

1) In Q1 x 2 individuals achieved their targets - although at different percentages.
So I need to pay out the pool money of $6828 in Q1 to the 2 individuals.
BUT the tricky part is that the person who achieved between 125-150% needs to get more than the person who achieved 110-120%

2) In Q2 x 3 individuals achieved their targets - at different percentages
So I need to pay out the pool money of $7063 in Q2 to the 3 individuals.
BUT the tricky part is that the person who achieved 150%+ needs to get more than the 2 people who achieved 110-120%

3) In Q3 x 3 individuals achieved their targets - at different percentages
So I need to pay out the pool money of $3922 in Q3 to the 3 individuals.
BUT the tricky part is that the person who achieved 150%+ needs to get more than the person who achieved 110-120% and who needs to get more than the person who achieved 100-110%

So I think I have to work out the weightings for each category that gets at least a "1" (so Q1 is 50% and 50%) but don't know how to weight it further to account for the tiered weighting....

Hope someone can help?
Many thanks!

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Welcome to the Forum!

Try this:

D4: =B4*TotalBonus/SUMPRODUCT(B$4:B$7,C$4:C$7)
E4: =C4*D4

You can vary the relative weights (highlighted) depending on how much you want to tilt the bonus pool to the higher performers.
