I am trying to make the following formula work and am going nuts trying to
make it work - I even called Microsoft and they couldn't do it either?
Here
is what I am trying to do.

I want say cell A1 (this will be the variable)

from 0 to 100,000 multiply by 6%
from 100,000 to 125,0000 multiply by 9%
from 125,000 to 150,0000 multilpy by 12%
from 150,000 and up multiply by 13%

so if A1 was 175,000, the first 100,000 is at 6% (6,000)
the next 25,000 is at 9% (2,250)
the next 25,000 is at 12% (3,000)
the next 25,000 is at 13% (3,250)
the total would be $14,500.

This is a bonus calculation so A1 is the revenue that bonus is calculated.

Does anyone have any ideas!

I would be forever grateful!

Thanks
