Generation Plan

Advanced structure where commissions flow across "generations", groups defined by rank rather than level. Often combined with Unilevel as a premium / senior-rank bonus.

Core concept

A "generation" starts when a downline member reaches a qualifying rank
Your commission from that generation flows until the NEXT generation break starts (another qualified downline)
Generations can be unlimited depth (if no one in between qualifies)

Example

You are a "Silver" rank with Unilevel earning 3% on level 1-5.

Your Level-3 downline hits "Silver" too, they become a "Generation break".

Everything BELOW that Silver (even if 20 levels deep) is no longer paid under your Unilevel depth, BUT you earn a special generation bonus (e.g. 2%) on all their volume until their downline hits another Silver.

Why it's powerful

Rewards leaders for "building wide with depth"
Creates incentive to help downline members rank up (which expands your generation)
Uncapped earning potential for senior ranks

Typical configurations

1st generation: 5%
2nd generation: 4%
3rd generation: 3%
4th generation: 2%
5th+ generations: 1%

Generation depth (how many generations you earn on) typically tied to rank, Silver gets 3 gens, Gold 5, Diamond unlimited.

Best for

Product-focused MLMs with strong rank-advancement focus. Common in health & wellness, cosmetics, personal care MLMs.
