Working on a business model and having trouble coming up with a formula that can manage my revenue distribution model.

Parameters:
Client A will pay Client B a deposit of $1,500,000 against future revenue distribution. Client A will retain 50% of Client B's revenue distribution until the deposit of $1,500,000 has been covered.

Once deposit has been covered the following revenue distribution will be followed:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Client A Sales[/TD]
[TD]Client A Revenue Share[/TD]
[TD]Client B Revenue Share[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]0-250,000 users[/TD]
[TD]30%[/TD]
[TD]70%[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]250,001-500,000 users[/TD]
[TD]35%[/TD]
[TD]65%
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]500,001-1,000,000 users[/TD]
[TD]40%[/TD]
[TD]60%[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1,000,001 + users[/TD]
[TD]45%[/TD]
[TD]55%[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Not sure I'm following the vlookup formula. It doesn't seem to account for the $1.5M deposit that needs to be recouped before rolling to the the revenue distribution.

Also, I don't think I was clear in my original post that I'm only trying to find Client A's revenue distribution as they gain users and get their deposit back.

I don't think it is clear from your OP what exactly you are after! Maybe add an example of what results you are after.

Need to figure out what the revenue will be as the cumulative users grow each year, plus accounting for the $1.5M deposit that has to be earned back before going into the revenue distribution breakdown above.

Client A needs to recoup the $1.5M deposit through their revenues (50/50 revenue split with Client B) prior to falling into the Revenue Distribution table. Once Client A has recouped all $1.5M then you have to pay attention to the number of users Client A has signed up each year so you know what revenue distribution tier they are in.
