The uniqueness of the Amway Business lies in its time-proven Sales & Marketing Plan which on one hand rewards the efforts of Distributors, and on the other, inspires Distributors' potential. It is possible, through the Amway Business Opportunity and individual efforts, for a common individual to create success of his own and achieve financial security. Distributors achieve their qualification levels by selling products, expanding their networks by sponsoring others to become Distributors, and increasing their Business Volume by duplicating their selling efforts.

BV & PV

Except the Retail Profit, Your business income is based on the monthly accumulation of points. All products are assigned 2 sets of numbers : Point Value (PV) and Business Volume (BV).The relationship between the 2 sets of value is governed by the PV/BV ratio as announced by Amway considering facts such as inflation, product price adjustment and Distributor income level. The PV/BV ratio is 1/50 now in Taiwan.

A Distributor's income consists of the following elements:

The Performance Bonus
Performance Bonus Schedule

The total Point Value of all the products you purchase and sell during a particular month determines your Performance Bonus percentage for that month. As you can see, the greater your total monthly Point Value, the greater your Performance Bonus. And the Performance Bonus is based not only on a Distributor's own Business Volume but also on purchases made by Distributors and Privileged Members whom he sponsors.

For simplicity, in our examples we have assumed 1 PV is equal to 50 BV.

Leadership Bonus

The Leadership Bonus is paid each month by Amway to a qualified sponsor on the Personal Group BV of each 21％ level group that he personally sponsors.

In the course of building an Amway business, a sponsor motivates and trains a Distributor to assist him in attaining the Maximum Performance Bonus level. At that time, both the sponsor and the Distributor are in the same Performance Bonus percentage bracket: 21％. Therefore, in order to provide the sponsor with an incentive to compensate for the hard work involved, the Amway Sales & Marketing Plan provides payment of a 4％ Leadership Bonus to the sponsor. This Bonus is computed by Amway on the BV of each 21％ qualifying group he or she personally sponsors.

Under this system, a Distributor who personally sponsors at least one 21％ Group and who achieves the required Personal Group PV will be entitled to all or part of the 4％ Leadership Bonus.

■	To reward the time and effort you spend on developing training and servicing your Downline Distributors and PMs, Amway provides payment of a 4％ Leadership Bonus to you in accordance with the BV of the 21％ qualifying group you personally sponsored as you meets Silver Producer qualification.
■	The 4％ Leadership Bonus is part of your estate and can be passed on to your heirs.

4％ Minimum Guarantee

While a qualified sponsor earns a Leadership Bonus on the Personal Group BV of the 21％ groups that he personally sponsors, his qualified sponsor is entitled to receive a Bonus that is 4％ of his BV or the established 4％ Minimum Guarantee amount, whichever is greater.

This 4％ Minimum Guarantee is determined in accordance with the ratio between BV and PV. As the BV:PV ratio changes, the amount is recalculated and the revised figure will be published by Amway in Amagram.

If the Personal Group BV of a qualified sponsor is insufficient to fulfill the 4％ Minimum Guarantee to his sponsor, the difference between the Leadership Bonus actually generated by his volume and the 4％ Minimum Guarantee is deducted from his Leadership Bonus to fulfill the 4％ Minimum Guarantee to his qualified sponsor.

For simplicity, in the following examples we have assumed 1 PV is equal to 50 BV and then the 4％ Minimum Guarantee is NT$20,000.

Ruby Bonus

A Ruby Bonus is paid by Amway when a Distributor reaches Ruby volume 20,000PV in any one month, no matter he qualifies Direct Distributor or not. The amount is equal to 2％ of the Distributor's Ruby volume in that month.

The Ruby volume excludes the following:

1.	The PV generated by Downlines who reach the 21％ Performance Bonus Level in that month.
2.	The PV generated by Downline Direct Distributors, no matter they reach the 21％ Performance Bonus Level or not in that month.
3.	The PV generated by the Uplines of Foster Sponsored 21％ Groups in that month (except the Distributor himself ).

Pearl Bonus

Each Distributor who personally or foster sponsors 3 or more groups which qualify at the 21％ Performance Bonus level in any one month is eligible to receive a Pearl Bonus.

Each month, Amway pays a qualified recipient a Pearl Bonus equal to 1％ of the BV generated by all second level 21％ groups, down to and including the first qualified Pearl Bonus recipient plus the personally or foster sponsored 21％ groups of that (Downline) Pearl Bonus recipient.

If a qualified Pearl Bonus recipient personally or foster sponsors a qualified Pearl Bonus recipient, the Pearl Bonus for the sponsoring Pearl Bonus recipient is paid only on the 21％ groups personally or foster sponsored by the sponsored Pearl Bonus recipient.

To qualify for the Pearl Bonus, a Pearl Direct Distributor must be a qualified Direct Distributor and must personally or foster sponsor at least three 21％ groups in his own market. (BV generated by first level 21％ groups does not count toward the Pearl Bonus since the Leadership Bonus is paid on this volume. Pearl Bonus is paid to the Upline Pearl Bonus recipient on this volume.)

Minimum Pearl Bonus
Each qualified Pearl Bonus recipient must guarantee to his sponsoring Pearl Bonus recipient a minimum of 1％ of 10,000 points times the BV/PV ratio on his 21％ group as well as one each of his personally or foster sponsored 21％ groups.

Whenever a qualified Pearl Bonus recipient or one of his personally or foster sponsored 21％ groups does not generate sufficient volume to fulfill the Minimum guarantee to the Upline Pearl Bonus recipient, Amway will adjust the amount of the Pearl Bonus to make up the difference. The PV/BV ratio is 1/50 and then the 1% Minimum Pearl Bonus guarantee is NT$5,000.

The 1％ Minimum Pearl Bonus changes if the BV/PV ratio changes. Amway will publish the amount updates in Amagram.

Emerald Bonus

To qualify for the annually paid Emerald Bonus, a Direct Distributor must personally or foster sponsor three or more 21％ groups in his own market, each of which qualifies at the 21％ Performance Bonus level at least 6 months during the fiscal year.

The Emerald Bonus is paid annually. Amway sets aside an amount equal to 0.25％ of all qualified BV Downline from all qualified Emerald Direct Distributors in the market (including 0.25％ of all Amway foreign subsidiary volume traceable to Taiwan sponsorship, provided that volume is only one country removed from the market). At the end of each fiscal year (August 31), this fund is distributed among all the Emerald Direct Distributors who qualify in the following manner:

Calculation Method
Amway Fiscal Year : September 1 to August 31

Total Points=A+B+C+D

The Volume of an Internationally Sponsored 21％ group will be calculated for Emerald Bonus twice: one for the Foster Sponsor and the other for the Internationally Sponsor.

Diamond Bonus

To qualify for the annual Diamond Bonus, a Direct Distributor must personally or foster sponsor six 21％ groups in his own market, each of which qualifies at the 21％ Performance Bonus level at least 6 months during the fiscal year.

The Diamond Bonus is paid out of a fund consisting of 0.25％ of the total BV of all qualified Diamond Bonus recipients, their personally, internationally and foster sponsored 21％ groups in the market as the Diamond Bonus Fund. The Volume of an Internationally Sponsored 21％ group will be calculated for Diamond Bonus twice: one for the Foster Sponsor and the other for the Internationally Sponsor (including 0.25％ of all Amway foreign subsidiary qualified volume traceable to Taiwan sponsorship, provided that volume is only one country removed from the market).

The fund is distributed to eligible participants in accordance with the same formula employed for the calculation of the Emerald Bonus. The Diamond Direct Distributor who personally or foster sponsors at least seven 21％ groups, each of which qualifies at the 21％ Performance Bonus level during 6 months out of the fiscal year can also share in the Diamond Plus Bonus Fund.

Diamond Plus Bonus

A Diamond Plus Bonus is paid to each Direct Distributor who personally or foster sponsors 7 or more 21％ groups whose volume qualifies for at least 6 months during a fiscal year. Internationally sponsored groups are not included in the computation and payments of the Diamond Plus Bonus. The bonus is paid according to the following method:

Units are assigned to each qualified 21％ group for each month they qualify. The number of units assigned to each group per month is as follows:

Each fiscal year, Amway sets aside a fund equal to 0.25％ of all qualified in the market volume Downlines from all in the market Diamond Plus Bonus recipients. Once the total number of units is assigned to each Diamond Plus Bonus Qualifier see schedule below, the grand total of units is divided into the Diamond Plus Bonus Fund to determine the NT$ value of each unit. Each qualifier's bonus is determined by multiplying the NT$ value per unit by the total number of units for that qualifier. This amount is to be paid before the end of the calendar year for the previous fiscal year.
