Another way to do this without an if statement
=min(a1,a2)*a3+max(0,a2-a1)*a4

Hi,
Let me know how to best handle. I need to calculate a commission at one
rate but if the amount exceeds the budget we pay the commission at a hight
rate.
budget 500,000 cell a1
billed 600,000 cell a2
cell a3 10%
cell a4 20%
i need to calculate 500,000 @ 10% and 100,000 at 20%

I need the formula to work even if the billed amount is lower than the budget.
example budget 500,000 billed 400,000, I need a calculation to pay the
400,000 at the 10% rate. please reply with cell info included.
Many thanks
