Default figuring commissions based on gross sales

I want to be able to plug in a gross sales number and have a formula spit out
the amount of commission to be paid to that sales person. However, their
production is tiered and they get paid a different commision based on the
level they are at, for example the plan is as follows:
0-5000 in sales = 20%
5001-10000 in sales = 30%
10001-15000 in sales = 40%
15000 in sales = 50%

If a sales person closes 18000 in gross sales they get paid 20% on the first
5000 in sales, 30% on the next 5000 in sales, 40% on the next 5000 in sales
and the remaining 3000 in sales is paid at 50%. In this example the sales
person will earn $6000. I want to be able to plug in the gross sales figure
and have the commission figured for me.

thanks
