Assume the gross is in cell A1. Use this:

=.07*min(500000,A1)+.03*max(0,A1-500000)

How can I use excel to calculate percentage rent?

Example - I am the owner of a retail building and I lease to a deli. I
have
a lease that states I receive 7% of gross annual sales up to $500,000 and
3%
of gross annual sales over $500,000.

If I have the total gross annual sales in one column, is there an
equation
that I can use that will take the 7% of $500,000 and 3% of anything above
$500,000?

thank you
