Binary Plan Calculator: "Find Your Two" Math With a Reality Check
The whiteboard says $76,700 in 10 months. The math is right. But it rests on one promise: every person finds two people, every month, forever. Move one slider and see what changes.
Strong / Medium / Slow are examples, not company data. Change any number below.
| Month | New people strong / weak | Team total | BV now strong / weak | Steps | Income | Total income | Total costs | Net | Carry BV strong / weak |
|---|
Green row = the month your total income first covers your total costs. People numbers are averages, so you can see 0.5 or 1.3 people.
How much does duplication change month 11?
Same plan numbers and costs as above, only duplication changes.
| Duplication | Team size | Income that month | Total income | Net after costs |
|---|
Is the whiteboard math right?
Yes. We checked every month. With 1,000 BV per person, 3,000 BV per leg for one step, $200 per step in months 1–2 and $225 from month 3, and perfect doubling, you get exactly this:
- Month 1: $50 early payout. Month 2: $150 (the rest of the first $200 step).
- Month 4: total $1,100. After the $600 product, $500 profit.
- Month 10: total $76,700. Month 11 alone: $76,725 from 341 steps.
So the adding up is fine. The question is what the adding up is built on. Here are the six hidden rules inside those numbers:
- Nobody fails. Not one person in 2,000+ misses the 30-day target.
- Both legs grow the same. Real teams almost never do. One strong leader on the left and a quiet right leg means your pay follows the quiet side.
- No weekly cap. Binary plans usually limit how many steps you can be paid per week, and the limit grows with rank.
- No one quits or returns a product.
- You spend nothing after day one. No events, no travel, no monthly buying.
- The supply of people never ends. Look at the red box above: the doubling hits real-world limits very fast.
Set the sliders back to 100% and you get the whiteboard again. Move duplication to 50% and the growth simply stops — because if each person brings one instead of two, each leg only gets one new person a month.
What this tool does
It works out a binary (left leg / right leg) plan month by month. Volume from new people and repeat buying goes into each leg. Every time both legs have the step volume, you get one step. Leftover volume carries to next month. It then takes away your costs so you see net money, not just "income".
When to use it
- Before you pay to join any binary or "Find Your Two" plan.
- When someone shows you a whiteboard and you want to test it on your own phone.
- If you are already in: to set honest goals for your team instead of dream numbers.
How to read the result
- Net is the number that matters. Income minus everything you paid.
- Break-even month (green row) tells you how long your money is at risk. If there is no green row, you never get your money back in this time.
- Team total tells you how many real humans must join. Ask yourself: do I know where these people come from?
- The duplication table shows how sensitive the plan is. If income falls off a cliff between 100% and 80%, the plan only works for the very top.
What it cannot tell you
- Your real income. Only the company's official plan, its income disclosure and your own results can.
- The exact rules of your plan: weekly settlement, qualification, rank maintenance, flushing of volume, taxes and currency. We use a simple monthly model.
- Whether the products are good value. If you would not buy the product without the business, count it fully as a cost.
- Legal advice. Rules for network marketing and income claims differ by country.
Questions people ask
Is the "$76,700 in 10 months" number a lie?
No, the arithmetic is correct. It is a best-case picture where everyone finds two people every 30 days. That has never been the normal result in any network. Treat it like the top speed printed on a car — possible on paper, not your daily drive.
What happens if only half the people duplicate?
Each person then brings one person on average. The team grows by about one person per leg per month, and income stays around one step every few months. Try it with the slider.
Why does the weaker leg matter so much?
A step needs volume on both legs. Volume on the strong side waits for the weak side. So your income follows the slower leg. Set "weaker leg speed" to 60% and watch the steps drop.
How many people are needed for $76,725 in month 11?
In the whiteboard model, 1,024 new people join each leg in month 11 alone, and the team is 4,094 people. Each of them must also have found their two on time.
How much does 1,000 BV cost in US dollars?
In the whiteboard example, a product of about $600 gives 1,000 BV. But BV is not money — it is a points number the company puts on each product. A different product, or a different country, can give a different price for the same BV. Check the official product list, then type your real price into "Joining product cost" above.
Is finding two people really that easy?
This is the most common reaction under these videos. Finding two is possible for many people. Finding two who also each find two, again and again, is the hard part — and the whole income depends on it. Move the duplication slider to see how much rides on it.
Does this mean direct selling is bad?
No. It means income comes from real sales and a real team, at real speed. People who do well usually treat it like a slow business with costs and a plan, not like a doubling chart. Read our questions to ask before you join.
