How it works
What is a binary MLM plan?
A binary MLM plan is a compensation plan in which every member has exactly two positions directly below them, a left leg and a right leg, and is paid on the business volume matched between the two. The weaker leg sets the payout, and unmatched volume on the stronger leg is carried forward to the next cycle.
We implement it against your own numbers — your slabs, your capping, your qualification rules — and prove the payout output before it goes anywhere near a live member.
Built into the engine
- Left / right leg placement
- Pair matching and carry-forward
- Daily and weekly capping
- Spillover and auto-placement
- Flush-out rules
- Matching bonus on downline

A worked example
One member at the end of a daily cycle, on a plan paying 10% pair income on matched volume, with 1 BV worth ₹1 and a daily cap of ₹1,000. The figures are illustrative.
- The left leg has 12,000 BV and the right leg has 20,000 BV.
- Matched volume is 12,000 BV, the smaller of the two.
- Pair income is 10% of 12,000, which is ₹1,200.
- The daily cap is ₹1,000, so ₹1,000 is credited and the other ₹200 is flushed, unless the plan carries capped income forward.
- The left leg resets to zero and the right leg carries 8,000 BV into the next cycle.
Each of those steps is a rule the plan document has to state. The platform records the matched volume, the cap applied, the amount paid and the balance carried, so any payout can be traced afterwards.

Questions
Binary MLM Plan questions
Carry-forward is the unmatched business volume on the stronger leg that is kept for the next cycle instead of being discarded. If the left leg has 12,000 BV and the right has 20,000, 12,000 is matched and paid, and 8,000 BV on the right is carried forward. Plans differ on how long carried volume lasts and whether it survives a member going inactive.
Capping is the most a member can earn from pair income in one period, usually a day or a week. Flush-out is what happens to anything beyond that limit: the excess is removed rather than paid later. Many plans also flush unmatched volume at set intervals or when a member goes inactive. The plan has to say whether the cap applies before or after matching, and what happens to the remainder.
Each member has only two direct positions, so once both are filled, anyone else they sponsor is placed further down one of the legs. That is spillover, and it adds volume to members below the sponsor who did not recruit the new member. The platform places them by a rule the plan sets, such as extreme left, extreme right or the weaker leg, or lets the sponsor choose.
Some binary plans need an unbalanced first pair before pair income starts, for example two members or units of volume on one side and one on the other. After that first pair, matching usually runs 1:1. The plan document sets the ratio and whether it counts members or business volume.
A matching bonus pays a member a percentage of the pair income earned by the people they personally sponsored, sometimes across several generations. It is calculated after their pair income, including any capping, has been settled.
