Tax Projection Formula in Excel

I have the following tax rate:                 4.8% from 0-$500,000
Over $500,000                     $24,000  + 6.4% of excess over $500,000                                      
Over $1,000,000                  $56.000 + 7.3% of excess over $1,000,000

For Example, Cell A3 contains the number 100,000

and I have the following formula in C53.  

=IF(A3<0,0,IF(A3>0<500000,(A3*0.048),IF(A3>500000<1000000,(A3*0.064+24000),IF(A3>1000000,(A3*0.073)+56000))))

When A3 is over $1,000,000 I get a number (which is wrong) and anything less I get FALSE. Yep, I am LOST!

You need to include AND function:

=IF(A3<0,0,IF(AND(A3>0,A3<=500000),(A3*0.048),IF(AND(A3>500000,A3<=1000000),(A3*0.064+24000),IF(A3>1000000,(A3*0.073)+56000))))

Thanks

EDIT need to allow for exact amounts as well with "<="
Edit to allow for excess over thresholds:

=IF(A3<0,0,IF(AND(A3>0,A3<=500000),(A3*0.048),IF(AND(A3>500000,A3<=1000000),((A3-500000)*0.064+24000),IF(A3>1000000,((A3-1000000)*0.073)+56000))))

Simple to understand....

=IF(A5<=0,0,IF(A5<500000,(A5*0.048),IF(A5<1000000,(A5*0.064)+24000,(A5*0.073)+56000)))
