good morning,

what is the easiest formula to take the first amount of $$$ multiply by certain %, then the next amount and so on...

so for example if I have $15,500 in sales and a commission bracket is:
$0-5K- 5%
5,001- 10,000- 3%
10,001- up - 2%

I want the formula to multiply the first 5k by 5%, then the next 5K by 3%, and next 5000 by 2%
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Did not test all scenarios, but try
Book1
AB
1AmountCommission
215500410
Sheet2
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B2B2=MIN(A2,5000)*5%+MAX(0,MIN(A2-5000,5000))*3%+MAX(0,(A2-15000))*2%
