Frequently Asked Questions
How are multi-level commissions calculated?
Each level gets a percentage of the original sale. Level 1 (direct seller) gets the highest rate, with decreasing percentages for Levels 2-3 (upline). The tool shows each payout and company retention.
What is healthy company retention?
Most sustainable models retain 50-70% after all payouts. If total commissions exceed 40-50%, profitability may be at risk. The visual breakdown helps spot unsustainable structures.
Works for affiliate programs too?
Yes. Set Level 1 as primary affiliate commission, Level 2 for sub-affiliates, Level 3 for third tier. Set unused levels to 0%.
