How multi-tier IB commissions work
You earn from your direct referrals. You also earn when your sub-IBs bring in clients. And when their sub-IBs do the same. Three levels deep, all tracked automatically.
The exact split depends on your agreement, but the structure is built into the platform. No manual tracking, no monthly spreadsheets. The dashboard updates as trades happen.
Most IBs start earning from direct referrals and add sub-IBs over time. The math scales fast. An IB with a three-level network can earn multiples of what a solo IB earns, with the same number of personal referrals.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum IB commission per lot?
ThinkMarkets pays up to $12 per standard lot traded by your referred clients. The exact rate depends on the instrument and your negotiated tier. High-volume IBs can negotiate custom rates with their account manager.
How does multi-tier IB commission work?
You earn commissions on your direct referrals (Tier 1), plus a percentage on clients referred by your sub-IBs (Tier 2), and their sub-IBs below them (Tier 3). The structure goes three levels deep, so your network keeps earning for you as it grows.
What is the CPA rate for affiliates?
Affiliates earn up to $1,200 per funded account, depending on the client's country and deposit amount. Rates vary by region — your account manager will confirm the exact CPA for your target markets during onboarding.
When are commissions paid out?
IB commissions are paid daily — they hit your account the next business day. Affiliate CPA commissions are paid monthly. Everything is tracked in real time on your dashboard, so you always know what is coming.
Are there any hidden fees on payouts?
No. ThinkMarkets does not deduct processing fees, admin charges, or platform fees from your commission payouts. What you see on the dashboard is what you receive.
