    need help fine tuning a formula

    I have attached a sample sheet.
    I have attempted a formula which does work but not exactly as I intended.
    The cells in use are C21 and D21.
    I want C21 to have an amount in it £50.00 and when I type £50.00 in D21 I want it to deduct it from C21 and say 'Paid'
    Although it works, I want to find out what I have done wrong because it says 'Paid' even if I type in £1.00
    Thanks

    Change it to

    =IF(D21>=50,"Paid",50)
