Hi hope this makes sense.....

I need to work out commission on (1) quantity of product and (2) its sale price.

I would appreciate some suggestions and help on the 2 points below:

  • The commission is 50% for any sales of products equal to or above £5 value and decreases by 0.1% for every penny less than £5.
    The formula I have for this so far :
    =((0.5-(5-C19)*0.1)*C19) where C19 is the sales price.

    Can this be simplified or tidied up? Also how do I include it allow a sales price over £5 to stick at 50% commission?

  • The above formula is for the first 5000 units. Thereafter every 1000 units sold the commission amount (result of formula from point above) is decreased/discounted by 1%.

    What would the formula be, if the number of units sold is E19 and I wanted to show the total commission in F19?

    For e.g.
    A) If 7000 units were sold at £6.00, commission would be as follows:
    1) 50% for the first 5000 units ( £3 x 5000 ) = £3000
    2) (50% for the units 5001 to 6000 ; £3 x 1000) with a 1% discount = £2970
    3) (50% for the units 6001 to 7000 ; £3 x 1000) with a 2% discount = £2940

    TOTAL £8910

    B) If 7000 units were sold at £0.60, commission would be as follows:
    1) 6% for the first 5000 units ( £0.036 x 5000 ) = £180
    2) (6% for the units 5001 to 6000 ; £0.036 x 1000) with a 1% discount = £35.64
    3) (6% for the units 6001 to 7000 ; £0.036 x 1000) with a 2% discount = £35.28

    TOTAL £250.92


    Should you have any questions please let me know.

If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Here is one approach...inputs in blue, calculations in green cells:

Could you confirm your answer in Example A1? (3*5000)

Thank you Kirk.
First of all yes answer in example A1 should be £15,000.

I've managed to work it out with a differential rate column in this formula below:

E5:E9E5=D5-D4
H5H5=SUMPRODUCT(--(H4>$B$4:$B$29),--(H4-$B$4:$B$29),$E$4:$E$29)



So my next problem thereafter is bringing this forward onto another sheet which will have various lines of products with different sales prices and amounts. I've managed to bring the results forward as below but am stuck on how to apply the sales price variable within this:

Your help is much appreciated

You can try or review these versions.
You could also name the ranges or the arrays. I named the bracket array and rate differentials array as follows:
Brackets are named aB = {0;5000;6000;7000;8000;9000}
Rate differences are named aR ={3;-0.030;-0.0297;-0.0294;-0.0291;-0.0288}
N.B. F1 is an example with Excel 365.

Thank you Dave.

I now have difficulty taking this forward onto to another sheet (Sheet2) where I want to list different products sold (with different prices and amounts) that stick to this commission scale.

Line brings forward the sales price of £6.00 and the answer in E5 is correct, but as you can see the answers in E6:E10 is where i'm now stuck and need some pointers please:

p.s. thank you for the tip about naming the arrays; I will look into simplifying it further once I find a way to populate Sheet2 E6:E10 correctly

I've just noticed this.... and this may help with the question I just asked in my reply to your first answer..... looking into it now and will let you know if this helps :-)

Realised this is for example 2.

So, I'm still stuck on how to bring this forward on Sheet 2 E6:E10 explained my previous reply

What are the brackets and rates if you base the calculations on the value of the of the sales?

With that information, what are your expected results?

Your approach may be to derive a factor based on volume and diminishing rate to apply to the selling price.
Each of the formulas shown earlier can do the following.
