    I am looking to create a commission based formula

    Hi

    I am looking to create a commission based formula.

    It needs to work something like this.

    No commission is paid until 5% growth is achieved. So lets assume that last years sales were £20k. 5% growth means £300 commission would be paid once they achieved £21k in the month. For every % point over 5% they receive an additional £60. This is paid right up to 30% growth.

    I hope someone can help.

    Regards

    Nick

    Try these
    =INT((C2-B2)/B2>=6%)*60+300*((C2-B2)/B2>=5%)

    Where B2 is the last years sales and C2 the actual sales

    Hi Jose
    Thanks for reply. I have used the formula but it only seems to add the 60 and 300 figures together and put £360 in the total.

    What I want is that if they grow 5% its £300
    If they grow 6% its £360
    If they grow 7% its £420
    If the grow 8% its £480 etc

    Regards

    Nick

    Nick, just to point out, Jose's formula omits the fact that you only want to pay commission up to 30% growth. The way you worded it I would expect a max commission value of £1,800? (£60*30)

    Or

    =(C2/B2>=105%)*(300+60*MIN(25,INT(C2/B2%-105)))
