Need help with a formula to calculate vacation days please!

I need help with a formula to calculate how many vacation days someone gets as of 1/1/2014 based on their hire date which is in cell C13.

<1 year of service = 0 days
1 year = 5 days
2 years = 10 days
5 years = 15 days
12 years = 20 days
18 years = 25 days

The tricky part is, if they will hit one of these levels before 1/1/15, we calculate it as if they already hit that level. For example, if someone was hired on 6/1/13, they won't hit 1 year until 6/1/14, but as of 1/1/14 we still show them as having 5 days vacation because they'll hit one year of service before 2015.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

If you calculate years of service until December 31st 2014 then that should fulfil your latter condition, do that with DATEDIF and place within a LOOKUP function to get days for 2014, i.e.

=IF(C13="","",LOOKUP(DATEDIF(C13,DATE(2014,12,31),"y"),{0,1,2,5,12,18;0,5,10,15,20,25}))
