    Question Tiered rate calculation with some flat rate tiers included

    I was hoping someone could help me with the following, I'm trying to combine a variable rate calculation with a flat tier rate calculation. I'm having a lot of trouble.

    Quantity Ordered Rate Is flat or variable
    1-5 1000 flat
    6-14 additional 200 flat
    15-22 additional 200 flat
    23-30 additional 100 per unit above 22 variable
    31-40 additional 75 per unit above 30 variable
    41-50 additional 50 per unit above 40 variable

    The idea is that if you ordered 48, you would get
    $1400 (the highest flat rate bracket 22 quantity units) + 8*100 (the next variable bracket for the 8 quantity ordered) + 10*75 (the next variable rate for the next 10 quantity ordered) + 8*50 (the last 8 quantity ordered at that variable bracket)


    A total of $3350. Yet I can't figure this out. I'm trying to use a combination of sumproduct formulas. Anyone have any guidance?

    The rate goes UP with increasing volume, then goes down?

    Re: Tiered rate calculation with some flat rate tiers included

    Not exactly. I think the table could be more clear. Really the first 3 rows, up to 22 ordered quantity, are the total price. This means someone ordered 5 units would pay 1000 while someone ordering 22 would pay 1400. The rate still continues to drop, but the earlier rates can be ignored.

    Is it more clear if I say
    Ordered rate Flat or variable
    1-5 1000 flat
    6-14 additional 200 flat

    So what is the total price for qty 1, 2, 3, ..., 7?

    Re: Tiered rate calculation with some flat rate tiers included

    Anything below 23 is going to be a flat rate. In the case of:

    1-5, always paying 1000,
    6-14, you're always paying 1200,
    15-22, always paying 1400,

    Above 23, you will continue to pay the highest flat rate amount, 1400, plus an additional variable amount per unit. If you ordered 23, you would pay
    1400 + 100 = 1500

    If you ordered 35, you would pay the highest flat amount, 1400, plus the additional variable amounts
    1400 + (8*100) + (5*75) = 2575
