Hi
I am trying to write a commission plan based around EBITDA targets which is paid quarterly to staff members based on a percentage of their salary.
The company needs to hit a target of 85% of budgeted EBITDA for staff to start receiving a tiered commission, the higher the result the higher the commission. The issue I am having is that we also have a catch up commission, if we failt to hit target in quarter 1 but we hit YTD target for quarter 2 then staff will receive the commission in that quarter x 2 as they would receive the percentage for both quarter 1 and quarter 2. But if we hit target in quarter 1 and then are running at a higher percentage in quarter 2 they would only receive that higher percentage for quarter 2 as they already received a commission for quarter 1. This would progress throughout the year, i.e. hit target quarter 1, miss targets for Quarters 2-3 but hit targets for quarter 4 so would have a catch up commission paid for the previous two quarters.
Does anyone know how I could write this as a formula? Any help appreciated!

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

Something like this perhaps?
