Hello and thanks for responding so quick. The explanation was very helpful,
and the formula does what I thought. Please see my response to T. Valko's
question. I hope it sheds better light on my problem.

Not sure what the problem is... this might help
=-MAX(0,MIN(I9,100)*0.05)
The above will give you 0 if I9<0, minus of 5% of I9 if it is between 0 and
100 and -5 if it is above 100
=-MAX(0,(I9-100)*0.02)
The above will give you 0 if I9<100, minus of 2% of I9-100 if it is above 100

Pl. click ''''Yes'''' if this was helpful...

I'm hoping someone somewhere can tell me what's happening and how to fix it.
This is the formula I'm using:
=-MAX(0,MIN(I9,100)*0.05)+-MAX(0,(I9-100)*0.02) and copy down through I11

Starting in I9 I have the following amounts.
I Results i'm getting
570.75 (14.42)
246.36 (7.93)
38.18 (1.91)

If I do a Total cell and use the same calculation on it, the answer will be
20.10, which is what I expect. The results of 9-11 are obviously going to
total to more than 20.10. Can someone explain what's happening and is there
a way to fix it so that the results are reasonably in line. It seems to me
to be too big a difference to be a rounding thing??

Thanks
