The formula does the computation and then matches the result against F10 (the FICA tax amount entered from the pay-stub) which should equal each other if the correct deductions are entered. Here's the problem, I need to modify this to also come up with a true statement (You found the cafe plan) not only when the result equals F10, but also when it is within .02 cents either way of F10. Is this possible? Please help!

=IF(ROUND((F4-M10)*0.0565,2)=F10,"You found the café plan!","Not the café plan")


What i have entered works great when the gross tax amount adjusted for pre-tax deductions equals the FICA tax as it should, I just need there to be some degree of variance allowed for F10. Two cents either way should do it.
You can do this by combining the AND Function with your IF Function and greater than / less than conditions for the 2 cents.

=IF(AND((ROUND((F4-M10)*0.0565,2)+0.02=F10),((ROUND((F4-M10)*0.0565,2)-0.02<=F10))),"You found the café plan!","Not the café plan")
