A matrix MLM plan, also called a forced matrix, limits how many people you can have on your first level (the width) and how many levels you are paid on (the depth). A 3×9 matrix allows 3 people directly below you and pays down 9 levels.
A binary is a 2-wide matrix with unlimited depth that pays on matched volume between two legs. A matrix can be any width, has a fixed depth and usually pays a set commission for each filled position per level.
When your first level is full, new members you sponsor are placed below, filling the next open spots in your matrix. Your upline's recruits can also spill into your matrix.
3 on level 1, 9 on level 2 and 27 on level 3, so 39 positions in total. Use the calculator on this page for any size.
When all positions in a matrix are filled, some plans close it and place you in a new matrix, sometimes a higher-value board, so you can earn again.
Small matrices like 2×2 or 3×3 fill fast and suit promotions. Wider and deeper ones like 3×9 or 4×7 reward long-term team building. We'll model your payout before you choose.
