Compensation Plan Simulator — model the financial impact of comp plan changes before going live

The Problem — spreadsheets and gut instinct drive decisions that affect margins and distributor retention

Configure Tab — adjust personal discounts, override rates, depth, and qualification rules across 3 tiers

Financial Dashboard — 6 real-time KPIs with delta indicators against the alternate plan

Revenue Waterfall — stacked chart showing gross revenue through discounts, overrides, down to net margin

Break-Even Analysis — current vs proposed cost curves at up to 3x volume with crossover detection

Comparison Table — side-by-side metrics with dollar deltas and color-coded good/bad indicators

4 Scenario Presets — Default, Aggressive Overrides, Flat Structure, High Growth for rapid what-if analysis

Technical Architecture — Zustand state, pure calculation functions, URL-encoded sharing, zero backend

The Challenge

Direct-selling companies live and die by their compensation plan, yet most design changes with spreadsheets and gut instinct. A 2-point override increase at the leader tier might sound harmless until it erodes $200K in annual margin — and nobody sees the ripple effects until it's too late.

The Solution

A fully interactive client-side simulator that lets operations leaders configure two compensation plans side-by-side across 45 inputs and see instant financial impact via KPI dashboards, revenue waterfalls, payout distributions, and break-even curves — all shareable via URL with zero backend.

Key Features

45 interactive inputs (18 per plan x 2 + 9 network params) with real-time financial recalculation
Side-by-side Current vs Proposed comparison with 6 KPIs, dollar deltas, and percentage deltas
Revenue waterfall, payout distribution, and break-even crossover charts via Recharts
Shareable URL state encoding — full scenario compressed into a link for team review
Full EN/ES bilingual support with dark/light themes and 4 built-in scenario presets

Results

45 interactive inputs with sub-second recalculation
4 chart types: waterfall, stacked bar, line with crossover, comparison table
Full state shareable via URL — zero backend, zero data exposure
