The Amway Performance Year is from September to August of the following year (12 months). Any achievement made during this duration contributes to the qualification of an ABO. Any achievement after the stipulated duration is accounted into the next Performance Year.

■ Award PV/BV – This refers to a specific way of accumulating PV/BV monthly. It includes PV/BV achieved by an ABO’s individual business, and PV/BV achieved by the ABOs he/she personally sponsored and their ABOs, as long as they are not at the 21% Performance Bonus level. This is used to determine Silver Producer qualification months.

■ VE – Volume Equivalency means the volume for a group with 10 or 11 Silver Producer qualifying months which is equivalent to 120% of the full volume of a group with 12 qualifying months, e.g. VE for 12 qualifying months is 12,500 PV x 12 x 120% = 180,000 PV.

■ Pass-up – Pass-up is defined as the volume from a Performance Bonus of less than 21% of your ABOs and non-qualified Platinums.

■ In-between 21% – In-between 21% volume is the volume generated by a Silver Sponsor. A Silver Sponsor is a person who has a downline who qualified a Silver Producer month but he/she doesn’t meet the requirement of a Silver Producer month.
