Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Younique Pay Plan?
The Younique Pay Plan outlines how you earn commissions and advance in Title through personal sales and team development. It offers a simple and transparent structure, giving you two ways to earn:
In addition to the Pay Plan, there are opportunities to qualify for additional rewards through programs like Fast Start, the Bonus Pool, and Title Rewards.
You can view the full Pay Plan here.
When do I get paid?
You are paid in two ways:
Personal Retail Sales (PRS) is Younique’s way of measuring sales in all markets, based on product prices in USD. PRS is a combination of your personal sales and your customers’ purchases. For details on how PRS is calculated in other markets, please utilize the Pay Rules and Global Business Guide.
For example:
PRS is used to determine your Pay and Title eligibility, and helps you remain an active Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate with Younique.
While your PRS resets on the first of every month, Lifetime PRS (the total you've earned over time) continues to grow as long as you're with Younique. However, please note there are currently no rewards or incentives tied to your Lifetime PRS.
Retail Pay is the commission you earn from your Personal Retail Sales (PRS). There are five earning tiers, and the more you sell each month, the more you earn. Your monthly PRS resets on the first of each month.
Every Brand Affiliate and Brand Ambassador starts at the first earning tier, at 20% as Instant Retail Pay on all PRS. This base commission is deposited into your PayQuicker account three hours after a sale is made through your personal Younique website.
As you continue to accumulate PRS throughout the month, you unlock additional commissions. Any earnings above the base 20% will be included in your Month-End Pay, which is paid on the eighth of the following month.
Here are the PRS requirements for each tier of Retail Pay:
|
Monthly PRS |
Total Commission Rate |
|
0-499.99 |
20% |
|
500-999.99 |
25% |
|
1,000-1,999.99 |
30% |
|
2,000-2,999.99 |
35% |
|
3,000+ |
40% |
For example, if you earn 550 PRS in June:
What determines my Title?
Your Title is based on the combination of:
Brand Ambassadors and Brand Affiliates share the same Title structure and requirements. Titles reset monthly, so you’ll need to requalify each month to be paid at the same Title.
Your recognized Title—the one displayed publicly on your account—will reflect the highest Title you've achieved during your time with Younique.
Monthly Title Sales is the combination of:
It is used to determine your achieved Title for the month.
Brand Affiliates accumulate Monthly Title Sales through their PRS (personal orders and their customer orders).
Brand Ambassadors accumulate Monthly Title Sales through their PRS and their First Level Team Sales.
Team Pay rewards you for mentoring and supporting others on your team, so only Brand Ambassadors are eligible to earn Team Pay. Brand Ambassadors can earn up to 10% on their First Level Sales, 5% on their Second Level Sales, and 4% on their Third Level Sales, depending on their achieved Pay Level for that month.
Team Pay is based on PRS and is paid as part of your Month-End Pay on the eighth of the following month.
Your downline is organized into levels based on how people are connected to you through sponsorship:
Team Pay can be earned by Brand Specialists or above who meet their First Level Team Count requirements within a given month.
This combination ensures you’ve built a strong foundation in both personal sales and team development—and from there, your Team Pay grows as you advance through higher Titles and Pay Levels.
Your Pay Level is calculated monthly and resets at the start of each new calendar month. It is based on your Team Count, which is the number of Qualified First-Level Brand Ambassadors or Brand Affiliates you have that month.
Your Pay Level is complementary to your Title, and it cannot exceed the Title you achieve for that month. This ensures that as your team grows, your Team Pay potential grows with it—while still rewarding consistent personal performance.
For example:
If you achieve the Brand Specialist Title in June and have a Team Count of three, you could meet the requirement for Pay Level 2. However, since your Title is Brand Specialist (which corresponds with Pay Level 1), you will be paid at Pay Level 1.
Team Count refers to the number of people on your First Level who each earn at least 250 PRS in a single month. It is used to determine your eligibility for Team Pay.
Please note that you and your customers do not count toward your Team Count. Only Qualified Brand Ambassadors and Affiliates on your First Level (with 250 PRS+) contribute to your count.
No. Brand Affiliates cannot enroll other Brand Affiliates or Brand Ambassadors. Brand Affiliates focus solely on selling and earning Retail Pay. They do not qualify for Team Pay or other team-based incentives.
To build and earn on a team, a Brand Affiliate must switch to a Brand Ambassador by contacting Younique Compliance.
In addition to Tiered Retail Pay and Team Pay, you can also earn through these programs:
Participation in these programs is supplemental and designed to accelerate your business growth. These programs may be modified or discontinued at any time at Younique’s discretion.
You can track all your orders, PRS, team activity, Title progress, and commissions in:
How do I maintain an active Younique Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate?
To remain an active Younique Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate, you must achieve 250 PRS in a rolling three-month period.
Yes, the first time you achieve Senior Brand Specialist and above, you can earn Title Rewards for each new title promotion. Please see the Title Rewards FAQ for more information.
The Younique App provides custom notifications that clearly state whether a user has joined your team as a Brand Ambassador or as a Brand Affiliate. Additionally, each user's app profile will indicate whether they are a Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate. However, it's important to note that there is no visible icon to differentiate between Brand Ambassadors and Brand Affiliates when looking at your Team.
