    Need help calculating sliding scale commission

    Hello,
    I need some help with formulas to calculate commission for an employee.
    They have a sheet allocated to each financial quarter, with columns for gross and net revenue.
    These totals are populated to the summary table, where I'm trying to calculate the following based on their Net Revenue:

    $0 - $12,500 = 0%
    $12501-$27500 = 15%
    $27501-$37500 = 22.5%
    $37501 and over = 30%

    I can't work out the formulas for columns F, G and H in the Summary Sheet. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    Try in F3:
    =MIN($E3,15000)*0.15

    G3:
    =MIN($E3-15000,10000)*0.225

    H3:
    =MIN($E3-25000,15000)*0.3

    Your manual result in F3 = 2,249.85 = 14999*0.15 seems not correct, it should be 15000*0.15 as per my formula did.

    Re: Need help calculating sliding scale commission

    In F3

    =MAX(0,(MIN(27500,$C3)-MIN(12500,$C3))*15%)

    In G3

    =MAX(0,(MIN(37500,$C3)-MIN(27500,$C3))*22.5%)

    In H3

    =MAX(0,($C3-37500)*22.5%)
    pull down all.

    Re: Need help calculating sliding scale commission

    FWIW, should you ever want to combine into a single-cell calculation, and/or you ever find yourself with lots of tiers, you can use the SUMPRODUCT approach

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(D3>={0,12500,27500,37500}),D3-{0,12500,27500,37500},{0,0.15,0.075,0.075})

    explanation : http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/variablerate.html

    but, to reiterate, this approach is more useful where you have lots of bands to deal with -- i.e. provided above only for sake of illustration / completeness.

    Re: Need help calculating sliding scale commission

    Thank you for this bebo021999. This is working fine unless there's no value for the tiers. Instead of returning a "$0" value, it returns a -ive dollar value. How can I amend the formulas to reflect that if no commission applies to the tier, return a value of $0?
