# Binary Bonus

## Definition

The Binary Bonus calculation is based on:\
\
**Period**:\
[Regular Qualifying Period](/compensation-plan/business-logic/qualifying-period/regular-period.md).\
\
**Structure:**\
[Binary Structure](/compensation-plan/business-logic/structures/binary-structure.md)\
\
**Compensation Metrics:**\
[Product Volume](/compensation-plan/business-logic/compensation-metrics/product-volume.md)\
\
**Rank Relation:**\
[Regular Rank](/compensation-plan/business-logic/qualifying-period/regular-period.md)\
\
\
**Amount**:\
The amount of the Binary Bonus depends on:\
\- [Product Volume](/compensation-plan/business-logic/compensation-metrics/product-volume.md) of the purchase from your Users the Binary Structure.\
\- Your [Rank](/compensation-plan/business-logic/ranks.md)\
\- Your [Payout Qualifications](/compensation-plan/business-logic/payout/payout-qualification.md)\
\
**Description**:\
Binary commission represents a bonus that potentially provides compensation for Sales made in your [Binary Structure](/compensation-plan/business-logic/structures/binary-structure.md), including [Spillover](/compensation-plan/business-logic/structures/binary-structure/spillover.md).\
\
Each Rank has a $ Value per Cycle value associated.\
Based on the Value per Cycle ( with respect of Paycut ) you will get compensation.\
\
If you theoretically would have Commission generated through the Binary Bonus but you fail to meet the [Payout Qualifications](/compensation-plan/business-logic/payout/payout-qualification.md), the volume will not be converted into cycles.\
You will not receive commission at the distribution of this Qualifying Period but it can be used to convert into Cycles later on. Check [Binary Volume Usage and Expiration](/compensation-plan/business-logic/bonus/binary-bonus/binary-volume-usage-and-expiration.md) for more details.

## Binary Volume Usage and Expiration

1 Cycle means, you have generated 200 Volume in your Left Substructure and 200 Volume in your Right substructure.\
\
The Volume will be used from latest volume first to current Volume last.\
\
If you don't manage to exactly have the same Volume within the left and the right Binary Substructure, the remaining Volume can be reused.
