Formula - Total field if/then based on numeric value and percent.

I have attached a photo of a formula I have been working on. A bit of background information: I will use this to create an estimate for clients for some of our products. This formula field will displa...

Best bet to get quicker help is to post the actual formula as text so people can copy and paste it. Also is this a text field? I am guessing text as the numbers have quotes around them but it would be good to know for sure.

With an offhand guess I would wrap the yellow text in a ToText function.

Formula:

If([Estimate Cost]<=500,"100.00",[Estimate Cost]>=500,"150.00",[Estimate Cost]>=1000, "250.00",[Estimate Cost]>=3000,[Estimate Cost] *.12)

    Try this Anna:
    If(
[Estimate Cost]=0,null,
[Estimate Cost]<=500,100,
[Estimate Cost]>500 and [Estimate Cost]<=1000,150,
[Estimate Cost]>1000 and [Estimate Cost]<=3000,250,
[Estimate Cost]*0.12)​


    [Estimate Cost] needs to be numeric and the formula field needs to be formula numeric.

      That makes sense until the percentage. So as a breakdown: 
      My fee is as follows: 

      499.99 and under fee is 100.00
      500.00 - 999.99 fee is 150.00
      1000.00 - 2999.99 fee is 250.00
      3000.00 + fees will be 12 %  (ie: 3000.00  fee is 360.00 and so on...) 

      But the way this is written looks like it will add 12% to everything?  or will this only add 12% to anything that does not fit in the prior statements??

        Try this then. The last part of the if statement, [Estimate Cost]*0.12, covers anything that is equal or greater than 3000.

        If(
[Estimate Cost]=0,null,
[Estimate Cost]<500,100,
[Estimate Cost]>=500 and [Estimate Cost]<1000,150,
[Estimate Cost]>=1000 and [Estimate Cost]<3000,250,
[Estimate Cost]*0.12)​​
