    Tiered Discount Calculations

    Hello, below is a table highlighting the overview of the tiered pricing and the respective discounts and I would like to use a formula that could help calculate the total discount amount based on the expenditure.

    Expenditure($) Mechanics
    250,000
    500,000 1st 250,000 = 5%; Next 250,000 = 6%
    1,000,000 1st 250,000 = 5%; Next 250,000 = 6%; Next 500,000 = 8%
    2,000,000 1st 250,000 = 5%; Next 250,000 = 6%; Next 500,000 = 8%; Next 1,000,000 = 10.5%
    > 2,000,000 1st 250,000 = 5%; Next 250,000 = 6%; Next 500,000 = 8%; Next 1,000,000 = 10.5%; 2,000,000 onwards =13%

    I have used both 'IF' and 'SUMPRODUCT' functions but the amount does not tally as the figures exceed $500,000. In case you require, below are the formulas for both functions.

    =IF(D2>=250000, (250000*0.05)+((D2-250000)*0.06), IF(D2>=500000, (250000*0.05)+(250000*0.06)+((D2-500000)*0.08), IF(D2>=1000000, (250000*0.05)+(250000*0.06)+(500000*0.08)+((D2-1000000)*0.105), IF(D2>=2000000, (250000*0.05)+(250000*0.06)+(500000*0.08)+(1000000*0.105)+((D2-2000000)*0.13)))))

    OR

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(D2>{0,250000,500000,1000000,2000000}), (D2-{0,250000,500000,1000000,2000000}), {0.05,0.01,0.02,0.025,0.025})

    Any idea what is the error for the above formulas?

    Thank you for your assistance in advance!

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    I don't really know what your question is... The big IF formula is simply incorrect. You have left out a pile of D2- in it. I'm not even going to attempt to correct it, as it isn't worth it!!! Use the SUMPRODUCT formula. It is short, simple, easy to maintain and... correct.

    As suggested by Glenn Sumproduct is much efficient for achieving discount amount, however there was problem in your if conditions which was refreshed as below.

    Re: Tiered Discount Calculations

    Hello, thanks for the advice. This is the first time I am using either formulas for the calculations; hence, I was a bit confused. By using the sumproduct formula, there are some discrepancies between the manual calculations vs the Excel calculations.

    For example, for $800,000 expenditure, the discount amount should be $45,500 instead of $51,500. Will you be able to advise what information you will require in order for me to rectify the formula?

    Thank you!

    Re: Tiered Discount Calculations

    You if formula was wrongly designed. Try post #5 formula

    Amount Rate@ Discount Amount
    2,50,000.00 5% 12500
    2,50,000.00 6% 15000
    3,00,000.00 8% 24000
    800000 51500

    Discount amount would be 51000 you can use sumproduct or if function posted in post #5
