🎯 Income Goal Calculator
How big does your team need to be to hit your income goal?
| Monthly Goal | Team Size Needed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000/mo | ~100 customers | Based on direct customer residuals |
| $3,000/mo | ~300 customers | Requires consistent customer retention |
| $10,000/mo | ~1,000 customers | Typically requires leadership rank |
Based on $10/customer (3% + 7% CSI) on $100 orders. After 3 years, drops to $3/customer without rank advancement.
📋 How It Works
Amway pays 3% Performance Bonus on direct customer orders plus 7% Customer Sales Incentive in your first 3 years (total ~$10 per $100 order). After CSI expires, meaningful income requires reaching higher ranks for the 25% performance bonus level.
📊 Commission Levels Breakdown
| Level | $/Customer/Month | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Bonus | $3.00 | 3% of $100 order = $3 |
| Customer Sales Incentive | $7.00 | 7% CSI (first 3 years only) |
| Combined (first 3 years) | $10.00 | 3% + 7% CSI = $10 per $100 order |
| Downline commissions | Varies | Requires Group PV; varies by rank |
📅 Monthly Requirements
100 PV (~$300-400 in product)
New reps earn ~$10 per $100 customer order (3% Performance + 7% CSI). After 3 years, CSI ends and you earn only 3% unless you reach higher ranks (up to 25%).
⚠️ Key Gotchas
- Customer Sales Incentive (7%) phases out after your first 3 years
- Must maintain 100 PV monthly or you earn $0 that month
- When downline members "break away" to higher ranks, you lose volume
- Average IBO at Founders Platinum and below earns $723/year before expenses (2024)
- Complex PV/BV system makes true earnings difficult to calculate
