    Question How to include tier's in to a formula ?

    example, say I tell you, if you score 1000 points I will pay you in tiers.


    You score 1000,

    Tier 1 - For the first 150 pts I will pay 150 pts * 25
    Tier 2 - For the second 400 pts I will pay 400 pts* 30
    Tier 3 - For the remaining pts I will pay 450 pts*15



    My question is, regardless if 1000 points or less.. what forumla can I use to to include the tiers in my calculation?

    Excel sample attached to this post. Thank you

    edit to post: If it makes it easier I am ok even having to have 3 seperate formuals (per tier) , I can just add the the values to make my total. Although 1 formula would be nice.

    With the number of points in A1, try this:

    =SUMPRODUCT((A1>{0,150,550})*(A1-{0,150,550})*{25,5,-15})

    Hi 63falcondude,

    Thank you that worked. Question for you, I used 1000pts as an example, but in reality this number will change very frequently. Is your formula only geared for 1000 pts? By looking at it, I think it is. Is there a way to have the formula set up in a way that it can accomdate any value of points?

    If it makes it easier I am ok even having to have 3 seperate formuals (per tier) , I can just add the the values to make my total. Although 1 formula would be nice.

    Thank you

    You can put any point value into A1 and the single formula in post #2 will give you the total.

    You can change A1 to any cell of your choice.

    excellent, I just tried it on a few examples and it works!

    ~~~before I mark this thread as solved~~~

    I have to ask.... I would love to know the breakdown. I am sure the formula looks scarier than it really is but can you please help me explain what you did. I have never used sumproduct before.

    Thank you

    You're welcome. Thanks for the rep!

    This is the standard and compact way of calculating tiered pricing or commissions in Excel.

    This article explains the formula in depth better than I can.
