Unilevel Plan

Unlimited width, fixed depth. Every member can directly sponsor as many people as they want, and earn commission on levels 1 through N (typically 5-10 levels deep).

Structure

Level 1 (direct recruits), unlimited width
Level 2-N, downline of directs, downline of directs' downline, etc.
Commission % per level (decreasing typically: 10% level 1, 5% level 2, 3% level 3, 2% level 4+)

Typical bonuses

Sponsor bonus on direct recruits
Level commission (the core)
Generation bonus, earn % on deeper "generations" after downline members reach a rank (unlimited depth within a generation)
Matching bonus, override on directs' commissions
Leadership bonus, extra % for senior ranks
Infinity bonus, for top ranks, earn small % indefinitely deep

Compression

When a downline member is inactive, "compression" skips them so the upline still gets commission from active downline below:

Forward compression, only at commission calculation
Dynamic compression, live in the tree

Why choose Unilevel

Scalable, no binary-style "balanced legs" pressure
Great for product MLMs, commissions tied to volume, not recruit placement
Easy to explain to recruits (straight hierarchy)
Rewards deep building through generation bonuses

Common examples

Amway, Herbalife, Young Living, and most modern direct-selling companies use variants of Unilevel plans.
