I have a spreadsheet that needs to calculate commission payouts. Commission rates are tiered - everything up through 50% of their goal earns 3%, 50-100% earns 4%, above 100% earns 5%.

My problem is that commissions are earned for an entire month, but payed out weekly. Can anyone help me with a formula for week 3's commission payout (column I)?

Thanks!

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
how do you pay weekly on a monthly goal ?
do you have a 4 week month or are they calendar months

John for example - has sold 65K , but the months target is 80K - so would you Pay 4% of the 20K
then in Week 4 - if john sold 40K - thats over 100% so 5%
would you then recalculate the months figures
as
week 1 - you paid 3% of 10k
Week 2 - you paid 3% of 20k
week 3 - you paid 4% of 20k - so you also owe 1% for week 1 and 2
week 4 - assuming 40K - over 100% - then you owe 5% for week 4 , 1% for week 3 and another 1% for week 2 and 1

is that how it would work ?

Week 5 - is that part of the Month goal as well
how do you work that

We would pay the commission for what they sold during that week.

For John, the payout would have been as follows
Week 1 - $300 - 3% of 10000
Week 2 - $600 - 3% of 20000
Week 3 - $700 - 3% of 10000 + 4% of 10000 (since he exceeded 50% of his goal during this time period)

For Allison, the payout would have been
Week 1 - $900 - 3% of 30000
Week 2 - $1200 - 3% of 20000 + 4% of 15000
Week 3 - $1650 - 4% of 35000 + 5% of 5000

In this example, weeks 4 and 5 haven't happened yet. But eventually I will want to translate the formula to those weeks as well.

The formula in E14 and copied right and down is

=SUMPRODUCT((SUM($E9:E9) > $C$4:$C$6 * $D9) * (SUM($E9:E9) - $C$4:$C$6 * $D9) * $E$4:$E$6) - SUM($D14:D14)
