    Calculating tiered percentages

    I am hoping this may be something simple.

    I want to create a calculator to calculate fee percentages based on settlement value.

    The criteria is 20% of $0 to $5,000, 15% of the next $5,000 ($5,001 - $10,000), and 10% of anything above $10,000. I am looking for somebody to input the total settlement in the first box and then have formulas automatically calculate out the amounts.

    The formulas I used were as follows with N/A signifying the settlement was not within that threshold:

    =IF(C3<=5000,C3*0.2,5000*0.2)
    =IF(C3>5000,((C3-5000)*0.15),"N/A")
    =IF(C3>10000,(C3-10000)*0.1,"N/A")

    I've attached the sample workbook as well.

    Thank you!

    Re: Calculating tiered percentages

    First, your manual calculation is incorrect. For a total of 12500 in C3, the fee for the "second 5000" is 5000*15% = 750, not 1125. So the total fee is 2000, not 2375.

    One way is to enter the following formula in C11:

    =MIN(5000,C3)*20% + MAX(0,MIN(5000,C3-5000)*15%) + MAX(0,(C3-10000)*10%)

    Another way is to create the following table in G3:I6:

    G H I
    3 Over... Fee Diff
    4 0 20% =H4
    5 5000 15% =H5-H4
    6 10000 10% =H6-H5


    Then enter the following formula into C11:

    =SUMPRODUCT((C3>$G$4:$G$6)*(C3-$G$4:$G$6),$I$4:$I$6)

    Re: Calculating tiered percentages

    I agree with joeu2004, it should be 2000.

    Try this formula

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(C3>{10000;5000;0}),(C3-{10000;5000;0}),{-0.05;-0.05;0.2})

    Re: Calculating tiered percentages

    Thank you both! That was part of the problem I was running into, the "second $5,000" just kept calculating and wouldn't cap where I needed it to. @Joeu2004, that took care of it perfectly.
