Default Newbie needs help with formula

Ok, I can do basic spread sheets in excel but anything trickier tha
percentages I get lost, so I'm looking for some help here.
The logic for the formula is as follows I need to use the figures i
cell1 to put a figure in cell2, if the amount in cell1 is below 60,00
then there is no change and the figure in cell2 will be as cell1, i
the figure in cell1 is between 60,000 and 90,000 then the figure i
cell2 needs to be cell1 plus 3%, if the figure in cell1 is above 90,00
then the figure in cell2 needs to be cell1 plus 5%.

I then need a cell3 which will give me the difference between cell
aand cell2 but thats the easy bit, I'll just subtract cell1 fro
cell2.

Any help would be greatly apreciated

This should do it:

=IF(A3<60000,A3,IF(A3<=90000,A3*1.03,A3*1.05)

Okay, this formula should work for cell2:

=IF(A190000,(A1*1.05),IF(A160000,(A1*1.03),A1))

Ok guys, thank you for that, I've got to take it a stage further now t
tidy it all up.

3 cells

cell1 adds up a set of figures and returns a total.

cell2 gives me 7% of cell1

cell3 if cell1 is less than 60,000 then cell3 will be same as cell
which is 7% of cell1, if cell1 is between 60,000 and 90,000 then cell
will be 10% of cell1, if cell1 is greater than 90,000 then cell3 wil
be 12% of cell1

thank you for any help in advanc

cell1 is A1
cell2 is A2
cell3 is A3

enter the following formula in A3
=if(A1<60000,A2,if(A190000,1.12*A1,1.10*A1))



cell1 adds up a set of figures and returns a total.

cell2 gives me 7% of cell1

cell3 if cell1 is less than 60,000 then cell3 will be same as cell
which is 7% of cell1, if cell1 is between 60,000 and 90,000 then cell
will be 10% of cell1, if cell1 is greater than 90,000 then cell3 wil
be 12% of cell

Theres something wrong with that formula, when I enter 60,000 into cell
the figure in cell 3 comes up with 66,000 which is cell1 + 10% and no
just the 10% because it's over 60,000, when I enter 90,000 I still ge
cell1 + 10%, I need to enter 90,000.01 to get the 12% and even then
get cell1 + 12& and not 12% of cell

How about this

=IF(A1<60000,A2,IF(A189999.99,(A1)-(88%*A1),IF(A1<90000,(B30)-(90%*A1))))

It seams to work fine for all the values, less than 60,000, betwee
60,000 and 90,000, and above 90,000.

Please tell me if there is a flaw in this formula, as I say I'm ok a
the basics and thats it
