# Faststart Rank Calculation

### Definition

Considering the current rank calculation, it is noticeable that someone who starts on 22nd January would only have 9 days to build his rank for January.

In order to not put distributors who do not complete their registration on 1.1 at a disadvantage and to provide equal opportunity for all, the calculation of the first periods rank will be based on the [Faststart Qualifying Period.](/compensation-plan/business-logic/qualifying-period.md)\
\
The Faststart Rank Caclulation is done exactly as the Regular Rank Calculation, only the Qualifying Period changes.\
For full examples, please check [Regular Rank Calculaton](/compensation-plan/business-logic/ranks/rank-calculation/regular-rank-calculation.md).
