    Tiered Commission Structure

    I'm having trouble creating a commission calculation.
    The commission schedule is paid on a tiered rate (below), and occasionally there will be recoveries due to client non-payment, which comes out of commission. There is also a budget variance every month. I'd like to have the Monthly Budget in cell A1, the Revenue in cell A2, Recoveries in cell A3 and the Commission (formula) in cell A4. I only need the formula for cell A4, everything else will be entered manually.

    Revenue Schedule
    $0-$14,000 = 0%
    $14,001 - $18,000 = 7.5%
    $18,001 - $BUDGET = 10%
    $102% BUDGET - Forever = 15%


    Thanks for the help!

    You need a VLookup with a TRUE to do this easily. See this link and it explains the whole process.

    Re: Tiered Commission Structure

    This didn't work for me, because it didn't recognise the 0% commission for the first 14K. I used a Sales total of 20K, and it's telling me the commission is $2000, when it should only be $500.
    You get paid 7.5% on the $2000 between $14001-$18000, which is $300 for the 18K. You then get paid 10% for revenue over $18001. So say you made $20,000. You would get $300 for the 14-18K, and then $200 for the $18001-$20000. The function is just making it 10% on the whole figure, rather than sectioning off.

    Does that make sense?

    Thanks very much Joe! Your solution works, though I did find a solution on MrExcel which may work a bit better for my needs. It's great to have two solutions that both work, and are easy to understand!
