Prop Firm Profit Split Calculator

What is a profit split in prop trading?

A profit split is the percentage of your gross trading profits that you keep as the funded trader. For example, an 80% split on $10,000 profit means you receive $8,000 and the firm keeps $2,000. Most firms offer between 75% and 90%, with some offering up to 100% on initial payouts.

What profit split do most prop firms offer?

The industry standard in 2026 is 80% to 90% for most established prop firms. FTMO offers 80-90%, FundedNext offers up to 95%, and some firms like Instant Funding offer 100% on the first payout as a promotional incentive. Always check the exact terms as splits can change after scaling.

Do I pay tax on prop firm payouts?

Yes. Prop firm payouts are typically treated as self-employment or trading income and are subject to tax in most jurisdictions. The payout from the firm is your gross income before tax. Consult a tax professional in your country for specific guidance.

How many payouts does it take to break even on a challenge fee?

It depends on your account size, profit target and split. For example, a $299 challenge fee on a $100,000 account with a 10% target and 80% split gives a first payout of $8,000 - meaning you break even on the fee in a single payout. Use this calculator to see your own numbers.
