Hi guys! Hope all of you are doing well and healthy.

I need some help here creating a formula that will help me to calculate the commissions for salespeople based on the tiers below:

Tier 1 - Sales Up to $20,000.00 - Not Eligible for Commission
Tier 2 - Greater than $20,000.01 up to $50,000.00 in Sales will pay 6% of the Excess of $20,000.01
Tier 3 - Greater than $50,000.01 up to $80,000.00 in Sales will pay 8% of the Excess of $50,000.01
Tier 4 - Greater than $80,000.01 up to $100,000.00 in Sales will pay 10% of the Excess of $80,000.01
Tier 5- Greater than $100,000.01 in Sales will pay 8% of the Excess of $100,000.01

Let me know if you need more details so that I can help you.

Thank you so much!
 

Excel Facts

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.
Try this
Excel Formula:
=IF(A1<=20000,0,IF(A1<=50000,(A1-20000)*0.06,IF(A1<=80000,(A1-50000)*0.08+1800,IF(A1<=100000,(A1-80000)*0.1+4200,(A1-100000)*0.08+6200))))


Or this
Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((A1>20000)*(A1>{0,20000,50000,80000,100000})*((A1-{0,20000,50000,80000,100000})*{0,0.06,0.08,0.1,0.08}+{0,0,1800,4200,6200}))

Thank you so much!

How the formula would look with changing the commission tiers to:

Tier 1: 0%
Tier 2: 4%
Tier 3: 6%
Tier 4: 8%
Tier 5: 6%

Try
Excel Formula:
=IF(A1<=20000, 0, IF(A1<=50000, (A1-20000)*0.04, IF(A1<=80000, (A1-50000)*0.06+1200, IF(A1<=100000, (A1-80000)*0.08+3600, (A1-100000)*0.06+5600))))

Or this
Excel Formula:
=IF(A1<=20000,0,IF(A1<=50000,(A1-20000)*0.04,IF(A1<=80000,(A1-50000)*0.06+1200,IF(A1<=100000,(A1-80000)*0.08+3000,(A1-100000)*0.06+4600))))

Another alternative.
With C1, you do not have to maintain the table of brackets and rates.
I used Name Manager and named the Bracket information and the rate differential information.

I am having problems with this second formula, when I make the calculations manually the numbers don't add up correctly.

Would you be so kind of revising the formula?

Looking forward to your thoughts,

Hi Dave!

I corrected the problem with the formula that was provided by @snjpverma

The problem was here (Bold part and underlined) :

=IF(A1<=20000, 0, IF(A1<=50000, (A1-20000)*0.04, IF(A1<=80000, (A1-50000)*0.06+1200, IF(A1<=100000, (A1-80000)*0.08+3600, (A1-100000)*0.06+5600))))

$3,600 is not the correct sum of the maximum commission of both Tier 1 (4% of 30,000 = 1,200) and Tier 2 (6% of 30,000 = 1,800) combined, the correct number is 3,000.

The same happened with the $5,600. When we sum the maximum commission of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 is $4,600, not $5,600.

That's why the numbers were wrong.

Here is the correct formula:

=IF(B60<=20000,0,IF(B60<=50000,(B60-20000)*0.04,IF(B60<=80000,(B60-50000)*0.06+1200,IF(B60<=100000,(B60-80000)*0.08+3000,(B60-100000)*0.06+4600))))

Thank you so much!

This is the exact formula in post # 4. Check the 2nd formula

Dynamic array formulas.

The formulas in columns E to G can easily be combined into a single formula. I used separate columns to be clearer.
