Please help with formula

I want to be able to calculate different percentages of a number.
Example:
The premium is $50,000
You get 7% commission of the first $20,000 of premium.
You then get 5% of the next $10,000 of premium.
Then you get 4% of the remaining amount.
We want to set the formula so we can put in any premium or percentages to
automatically calculate.
Thanks,
DeNise

Let's assume your premium is stored in cell A1, then this formula should
calculate your commission based on the criteria you provided.

=MIN(A1,20000)*0.07+MIN(MAX(A1-20000,0),10000)*0.05+MAX(A1-30000,0)*0.04

Put your premium in A1, then:

=0.07*MIN(A1,20000)+(A1>20000)*0.05*MIN(A1-20000,10000)+(A1>30000)*0.04*(A1-30000)
