Default Multiple Variables in a Commission Structure...a tough one!!!

Ok, then the below seems to do the job. However, I would very closely check
the "Else" values because although my formulas appear to reflect what you
originally stated if the Ys were Ns, I doubt if what I used was really what
you intended. For instance, if I change all Y to N then the formula comes up
with 3100

Here are the formulas:

IF(B123="Y",A123-(A123*0.15),A123)
IF(C123="Y",B124*0.2,B124*0.1)
IF(D123="Y",B124*0.02,B124)
IF(E123="Y",B124*0.02,B124)
IF(F123="Y",B124*0.01,B124)
SUM(C124:F124)

Sorry, I wasn't very clear,

If the order is $1000,
and I have to subtract 15% of the gross= $850 (Net).
multiply that by 20% =$170.
add 2% of net 1st bonus=$17
add 2% of net 2nd bonus=$17
add 1% of net 3rd bonus=$8.5

170+17+17+8.5=212.5

How do I create the formula to where I can insert the order amount, and
answer "Y" or "N" to the variables and get the final commission total?

Something seems to be wrong. Can you specify what the numbers are at each
step? Also, if A is 1000 and you sum a - f, how are you coming up with 212.5?

Here's my problem, I'm trying to create a worksheet to calculate our
commsiion structure, but can't figure out a way to attack it. We have many
variables (5) in our commission structure based on each order. Here's how I
set it up so far:

(In Cloumns)
A= Order Amount
B= "Y" is A-15%; "N"=A
C= "Y" is B*20%; "N" is B*10%
D= "Y" is B+2%; "N" is B
E= "Y" is B+2%; "N" is B
F="Y" is B+1%; "N" is B
G= SUM(A:F)

For example, if the order is $1000, and I answer y,y,y,y,y=$212.5

How do I create the formulas so I can just put in the order amount and the
appropriate letter to get the correct commission structure?
