I want to make a distance calculator, my wish is to create it so that price of shipping will increase by 1$ for ever 500 above 1000 for example: Example 1: If the delivery distance is 1499 meters, the delivery fee is: 2€ base fee 1€ for the additional 500 m => 3€ Example 2: If the delivery distance is 1500 meters, the delivery fee is: 2€ base fee 1€ for the additional 500 m => 3€ Example 3: If the delivery distance is 1501 meters, the delivery fee is: 2€ base fee 1€ for the first 500 m 1€ for the second 500 m => 4€ I can't figure this out on my own...I suck at math apparently, appreciate the help!

You can subtract 1000 from the initial value and then use integer divison to check how many times it has gone 500 above
example below in python:

a = input()
b = a-1000
if b<=0:
    print("2 dollars")
else:
    print(3 b//500) #3 because its over 1000 so at least first 500 are included
