=IF(A1<=2000,A1*2%,40+(A1-2000)*5%)
or
(A1*2%)+(A12000)*(A1-2000)*5%

I am trying to get a formula to do the following commision;
If A1 is less then or equal to $2,000.00 then B2 would equal 2% of that
amount.
If A1 is greater then $2,000.00 then B2 would equal 2% of the $2,000.00
plus
5% of the amount over the $2,000.00 baseline.
