I am trying to set up 2 calculations for our sales tax.

(1) The local tax is 2.25% of the sale up to the first $1600 of the sale or
a maximum local tax of $36. If the sale is $3000 the tax is still $36. If
the sale is less than $1600 then the tax is 2.25% of that amount.

(2) There is a state tax of 7% on the total sale. There is an additional
state tax of 2.75% (single item purchase tax) on the amount of the sale
between $1600 and $3200 or a maximum of $44.

So if you have a sale of $10,000 there is a state tax of 7% on the total
($700), local tax of $36 plus a state single item purchase tax of $44.

A formula for this will be greatly appreciated!

Jim

Hi Jim,

The total is:

=A1+MIN(A1*2.25%,36)+A1*7%+MAX(0,MIN(44,A1*2.75%))

The "+" signs separate the individual taxes

If the sale is in A1 then:

=A1+MIN(A1*0.0225,36)+0.07*A1+IF(A11600,MIN(44,0. 0275*A1),0)

round up or down to the nearest penny as the law requires

Thank you for the response. I need the tax amounts in to show in their own
cells and to reflect only the tax. I tried to figure out how to do that
without bothering you again but no luck. Not very good with this kind of
thing.

=MIN(A1*2.25%,36)
=A1*7%
=MAX(0,MIN(44,A1*2.75%))

That's what I meant when I wrote that the individual taxes were separated by + signs
