After more Googling and experimenting then I care to discuss, I have run into a brick wall attempting to create a formula that can help me through my objective. I found a few threads with similar questions, but no answers, so am hopeful someone can provide direction. I am comparing several commission structures, one of which is outlined below:

Gross Commission ($)Net Commission (%)
0-50,00010%
50,001 - 100,00020%
100,001 - 300,00030%
300,001+40%

<tbody>
</tbody>

This is a graduated, or step up fee structure. For example, if the gross commission is $40,000, the net would be $4,000. Pretty simple. But if the fee is $400,000, then the first $50,000 earns only 10%, the next $40,000 earns 20%, the next $200,000 earns 30%, and the last $100,000 would earn 40%, which totals $5,000+$8,000+$60,000+$40,000=$113,000.

I'd like to enter the gross commission into a cell, and have the net commission calculated. We will be evaluating several structures with similar design, so theoretically I want to have probably 10 different net commission scenarios computed by entering the gross commission. If someone can provide direction on the above example, I am sure I can figure out the rest.

Thank you in advance.

The thresholds and the commission rates can be changed and the computed commission will update.

Enter your gross commission in A1 cell

=+IF(AND(A1>0,$A$1<=50000),$A$1*10%,IF(AND(A1>50000,A1<=100000),(A1-50000)*10%+(A1-50000)*20%,IF(AND(A1>100000,A1<=300000),((A1-100000)*30%)+((50000)*10%)+(50000*20%),IF(A1>300000,((A1-300000)*40%)+((50000*10%)+(50000*20%)+(200000*30%)),""))))

Hi, similar to this, can someone help me with this:

how can I set a formula where the minimum commission is $25 for sales of $0 but is gradually increasing based in the amount paid, in which the maximum amount of sales is $500 and the maximum amount of commission of 15% of the maximum amount of sales ($75).

Sales Commission
$0 - $25 (minimum)
$500 - 15% of sales ($75)

thank you very much in advance guys.
