Dues Calculation

Hi There,

 

I am trying to configure a formula to auto-calculate a membership dues which is based off the following:

(2 x Hourly Rate)-4% + $47

 

I have been entering it into a cell as:

((2*Cell)-4%)+47 

 

A very easy calculation; yet when it is input into a cell as a formula, the resultant number is not what my calculator shows; I have been getting a little batty on it and obviously am missing something.

 

Could someone please help me find what I am doing wrong? I have googled a ton and nothing seems to resolve this calculation, as I say, I must be missing something.

 

Thanks

  • Hi Christian

     

    Try this formula:

     

    =SUM(((2*Cell)-((2*Cell)*0.04)+47))

     

    Essentially the first brackets are 2x Hourly Rate MINUS 4% of the 2x Hourly rate PLUS 47.

     

    Hope that helps!

     

    Cheers
