I have a a base cost but need to calcualte the retail cost to allow a 30% commission - what's the formula?
Q. I know the base cost of a product but need to calculate the retail price allowing 30% commission. The commission rate is 30% of the retail price to bring you back down to the base cost. I'd be grateful for the formula please so I can place it into the Excel spreadsheet!

A. Imagine that, you have a product and the base cost of the product is Rs.90.00 You want to add 30% as margin to the retailer to the base cost. The formula is, (Base cost)+(Rate of commission)/100 x (Base cost) i.e 90+(30)/100 x (90) = 90+27=117 is your retail cost. If you want the commission amount to be 30% on the Maximum Retail price (MRP)then to calculate MRP from the base cost this is the formula . Let the Maximum retail price be X. You know the base cost of your product is Rs.90=00, The formula is, (Base cost)+(Rate of commission)/100 x (MRP) = MRP i.e 90 + (30)/100 x (X) = X 90 + 0.30X = X 90 = 0.7X Therefore X = 90/0.7 = 128.57. So if you have a product of base cost Rs.90.00 then the MRP of that product is Rs.128.57. Further… [cont.]

Commission Formula in Excel?
Q. I am trying to write a Commission Formula in Excel to calculate the Sales Commission based on this criteria: Monthly Sales $0-50K => 3% Commission Monthly Sales >$50K => 6% However, when Accumulative Sales Adds up to $1000,000/ Year Cycle or over, then the Commission become flat ==> 8% Commission. For example: in the 8th month the Monthly Sale = $120K, and by making this sale the Accumulative Sales adds up to $1280,000 How can I bulld an Commision Formula in Excel to Calculate all this possibilities. thank you all, please write me back if you are sure of your answer.
Asked by Karim - Tue Sep 2 20:09:15 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are a number of different ways you can do this. Here's how to do it with nested IF formulas: Assuming that your list of monthly sales is in column A, starting in A1: This formula will check if the sum of the monthly sales column has reached 1000,000. If it has, it results in 0.08. Otherwise if A1 > 5000 it will return 0.06, or if A1 is over 0 it will result in 0.03. If all else fails it will result in zero. =IF(SUM($A$1:A1)>=1000, 0.08, IF(A1>5000, 0.06, IF(A1>0, 0.03, 0))) If the SUM() formula to find the accumulative sales won't work (say if the formula needs to be smart enough to start fresh each January or something) then message me when you add additional details and I'll see about tweaking the formula.

Asked by ramsun - Wed Jul 4 12:04:05 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is for investment banking and the commission is a percentage of the deposit that is paid to the banker. The percentage decreases as the deposit increases. The percentage is 5% for the first million dollars deposited, 4% for the second, 3% for the third, 2% for the fourth and 1% for each million thereafter. There are also variations of the formula in use.

Asked by gladcloud1224 - Sun Feb 24 15:20:31 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think you can do what you want using VLOOKUP. First, you need to make sure your table is formatted properly. What you need to do is give the smallest possible value for each commission rate. So, for your example where 0 - 120 is 6% and 121-200 is 9%, your table would have two rows (here the columns are separated by semicolons): 0; .06 121; .09 Then, you create a VLOOKUP formula to look up the appropriate value. In this example, your table is in cells A1 to B2 and the value that you are looking up in the table (the sales amount) is in cell D1. You'll have to replace those cell references with the actual cells in your spreadsheet. =VLOOKUP(D1, $A$1:$B$2, 2, TRUE) The dollar signs in the cell references for the table mean… [cont.]

A. You formula is overly complex when it doesn't need to be. Try to simplify the formula first. For example, you have 5 "IF" conditions. Just looking at the first IF condition, you have the following calculation when TRUE: (( B3-5000) *0.11) +(5000 *0.1)+ (5000 *0.09) +(3000 *0.08) +(3000 *0.07) +(6000 *0.05) +(3000 *0.04)) You would get the exact same result using this calculation when TRUE: (B3-5000) *0.11) +182000) My point is this; simplify your calculations first. It will then become far easier to pinpoint cause of #VALUE error. All I did was perform the static calculations (the ones where numbers never change) and came up with 182000. Do the same for each of your IF conditions. You find out you formula is just too long or… [cont.]

Asked by n2hu - Mon Feb 25 12:43:42 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The math problem would say that a price of $212,765 would do it. The reality is that it won't work as a list price. You also have to figure in all of the closing costs that seller's are responsible for. Once you've done that you also have to figure in what the average list-to-sold ratio is in your area and pad it just a touch. If the average list-to-sold ratio is 95%, then you need to go a little lower to cover your butt during negotiations. You will need to list close to $230,000 for it to net out at $200,000! Now you can check and see if the home is still at a good price, because if it isn't priced right, it won't sell at all. good luck!

Asked by Kris S - Tue Jan 9 20:56:36 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. First make a note of the things you know and the things you don't know: You know that it's a fixed 7% of 100,000 You know that the total commission is 10,120 What you need to know is the amount over 100,000 that the 4% commission is applied to so call that amount x. Start writing down these things in a equation: Total Commission = 7% of 100,000 + 4% of the amount over 100,000 Restated with numbers and variables: 10,120 = 7% * 100,000 + 4% * x 10,120 = .07 * 100,000 + .04x 10,120 = 7000 + .04x 10,120 - 7000 = .04x 3120 = .04x 3120/.04 = x 78,000 = x Remember that x is the amount over 1000 so you have to add that to the 78,000 to get 178,000.

It's nested IFs with a couple of ANDs. L242 values are "Yes", "No", or "NA" H8 value is the loan amount L243 will hold your formula to calculate commission. The commission rules are as follows: If L242 is Yes and H8 > 5000 then the commission is .015*H8 If L242 is Yes and 2000 < H8 <= 5000 then the commission is .01*H8 If L242 is Yes and H8 < = 2000 then the commission is 0 If L242 is not Yes, then the commission is 0 In order to show the whole formula here, I have to carriage return.

A. Let's assume these percentages were relating to the same amount, lets say $1000? a = $50, b= $100, c= $150. Total = $300 Reducing the total commision by 10% would leave you with 300-30= $270. This equates to a 20% reduction in commision c ($30). Therefore, you would have to reduce the commision rate c (which is 15%) by 20%. 20% of 15 is 3, so you would have to change c to 12%. a 5%, b 10%, c 12%. I hope this is what you meant?
