Tiered Calculation Question

Greetings,


New member here, ran across this website researching Excel and must say a terrific resource, thank you for providing it.


I’ve been trying to solve this one for awhile now and hoping the community can help me.


I’m building a spreadsheet where you key in a dollar amount (Ex: $100,000) and depending on how much it is, a fee is charged based on a pricing structure (Ex: For the first $10,000 you’re charged $1.00 per thousand, then on the next $30,000 you’re charged $.80 per thousand, then on the next $50,000 you’re charged $.50 per thousand, and finally the next $100,000 you’re charged $.30 per thousand.


Calculation:


First $10,000=$10.00 ($1.00 per thousand)

Next $30,000= $24.00 ($.80 per thousand)

Next $50,000= $25.00 ($.50 per thousand)

Next $100,000= $3.00 ($.30 per thousand)


The Resulting Answer:

Total = $62.00 in fees for $100,000. The $100,000 would be the variable.


The max charge could be $89 (Because you maxed out all of the tiers with a $190,000 variable)


I’ve tried SUMPRODUCT but not sure how to make that formula jump from tier-to-tier without it calculating the full $100,000 on each tier when it should only calculate $10,000 at Tier 1, the next $30,000 on Tier 2, the next $50,000 on Tier 3, and the last $10,000 at the Tier 4 $100,000 Rate.


Can this great community assist me? Let me know if more information is needed.


Signed,

John

A1 Text "Overall Amount"

B1 Enter the amount such as $150000


C3: "Price", D3: "Breakdown", E3: "Total Fees"

A4: "Level 1", A5: "Level 2", A6: "Level 3", A7 "Level 4"


B4: 10000, B5: 30000, B6: 50000, B7: 100000

C4: $1.00, C5: $0.80, C6: $0.50, C7: $0.30


D4: IF(B1<B4,B1,B4)

D5: IF(B1-D4<B5,B1-D4,B5)

D6: IF(B1-D5-D4<B6,B1-D5-D4,B6)

D7: B1-D4-D5-D6


E4: ROUND(D4*C4/1000,2)

E5: ROUND(D5*C5/1000,2)

E6: ROUND(D6*C6/1000,2)

E7: ROUND(D7*C7/1000,2)


D8: SUM(D4:D7)

E8: SUM(E4:E7)


You can therefore check if the breakdown between B1 (the amount you enter) is the same as D8.


This is a bit long but clear to understand and provide the flexibility of changing the cut off pricing and fee rates up to 4 level pricing as requested.
 
Dear Fred,


I was thinking way too complicated, thank you for sharing the light. Solved my issue, thanks!
