You say:

Cell C5 is $34000.00; the first $1600.00 of that amount
+ the value of C7 needs to be multiplied * 2.25%

But your examples don't show the addition of cell C7:
1st level 1600.00 * 2.25% = $36.00

Try these:

1st level:

=IF(COUNT(C5),MIN(1600,C5)*2.25%,0)

2nd level:

=IF(C51600,MIN(1600,C5-1600)*2.75%,0)

Can a cell be formulated to reflect a value based on the following
situation?

Cell C5 is $34000.00; the first $1600.00 of that amount + the value of C7
needs to be multiplied * 2.25%. That value will be in cell C10. ALSO,
Cell C5 is $34000.00; the second $1600.00 up to $3200.00 needs to be
multiplied * 2.75%. That value will be in cell C11.

EXAMPLE: $34000.00
1st level 1600.00 * 2.25% = $36.00
2nd level 1600.00 * 2.75% = $44.00

ANOTHER EXAMPLE: $3000.00
1st level 1600.00 * 2.25% = $36.00
2nd level 1400.00 * 2.75% = $38.50

I am using Excel 2003 version.
