🌐 MLM compensation plans · Unilevel plan
Sponsor as many people as you like on your first level and earn a set percentage of sales on each level below. It's the simplest plan to explain and the best fit for repeat-purchase products. See how levels, compression and ranks work, estimate income in the live calculator, then launch it on software built to your rules.
Each level below you earns a set percentage of that level's sales volume. Higher levels pay more because they're closest to you. Hover a level. Example percentages.
Set how many people you sponsor, how many each of them brings in, and monthly volume per person. See your team size and commission level by level. Use your own figures.
Illustrative only. Real results depend on product sales and member activity, and most members earn modest amounts.
Build this commission enginePress compress. Inactive members (grey) are removed from the payout line and the active members below move up a level, so you're paid on more real volume.
Before compression: level 5 is the last level you're paid on, so active members F and G earn you nothing.
Most unilevel plans pay more than one bonus. Hover a card.
A percentage of the sales volume on each level you are paid on.
The margin when you sell products to your own customers.
Extra commission on a new member's first orders.
A small percentage beyond the last paid level, often for leaders.
One-time or monthly rewards as you reach new ranks.
Commission on monthly subscription orders from your team.
Unilevel shines with consumable products people reorder every month. It's less suited to one-off, high-ticket items.

A unilevel plan lets you sponsor as many people as you like on your first level. Everyone joins in a single line under their sponsor, and you earn a percentage of the sales volume on each level down to a set depth, often 5 to 10 levels.
Each level has a percentage, for example 8% on level 1, 6% on level 2 and so on. Your commission is the sales volume on each level multiplied by that level's percentage, usually paid monthly.
If someone in your downline is inactive (didn't meet the monthly volume), compression skips them and moves the active members below up a level, so you get paid on more active volume.
Binary has two legs and pays on matched volume between them. Unilevel has an unlimited frontline and pays a percentage per level, with no matching or weak-leg rule.
It's fair and simple, but there's little spillover, so new members mostly earn from their own customers and recruits. Fast-start bonuses help.
Most pay 5 to 10 levels. More levels spread the payout thinner. We'll model payout ratios for your products before launch.
