So, I am trying to determine how best to calculate Tie rates for a commission structure when I know what the total payout should be at 100% achieved? Here is a sample of the tier structures,

[TABLE="width: 281"]
<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: right"]0.00%[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]75.000%[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]2.00%[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: right"]75.00%[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]90.000%[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]3.00%[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: right"]90.00%[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]100.000%[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]4.00%[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: right"]100.00%[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]110.000%[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]5.00%[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: right"]110.00%[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD="align: right"]6.00%[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
The problem I am having is that if a person's quota is $3,000,000 and there total compensation needs to be $80,000 if they achieve 100%, how can I have it calculate the proper % earned in each category. I am sure there has to be a formula to do this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Oscar - thanks for responding. So I don't understand how it will tell me what %'s need to be used in each category to achieve the $80,000 payout. I want it to tell me what should be in cells B2,B3, and B4 as a percent to ensure that if they hit the 100% at $3,000,000 they will receive the proper payouts at the correct % to achieve the $80,000. Right now, it is calculating to $70,500, how do I get it to calculate the % for me?
