Prop firm profit split calculator

How to use it

1. Pick your account currency. 2. Enter the size of your funded account. 3. Enter the monthly return you want to test, as a percentage of the account. A negative return is allowed. 4. Enter your profit split, the trader's share of the profit. 5. Enter how many months to project, from 1 to 36. 6. Optional: enter the challenge fee and tick the box if your firm refunds it with the first reward. 7. Read the result. Copy it, or copy a share link that holds only your inputs.

How it works

The calculator turns the monthly return into a profit amount, applies the split to get your reward, and shows what the firm keeps. It then multiplies the monthly reward by the number of months. If the fee is refunded, the refund is added once, with the first reward. When you enter a fee, the tool also shows your total after taking off what you paid for the challenge.

A month with a loss pays no reward. The projection uses the same return every month, so it shows what a given return would pay. It does not say that return is likely. Change the return a few times to see how much the total depends on it.

A second example: a euro account, no refund

A €50,000 funded account, 2.5% a month, a 90% split, 6 months, and a €300 fee that is not refunded.

• Monthly profit: €50,000 times 2.5% is €1,250.
• Your reward: €1,250 times 90% is €1,125 a month.
• The firm keeps €1,250 minus €1,125, which is €125.
• Over 6 months: €1,125 times 6 is €6,750.
• After the fee: €6,750 minus €300 is €6,450.

Now set the return to minus 1%. The profit is minus €500, and the reward is €0. That is the honest picture of a losing month: nothing is paid, and at most firms the loss has to be made back before the next reward is due.

Common mistakes

Projecting a return you have never made. A projection at 10% a month says nothing about whether you can make 10% a month. Use the return your own record supports.

Forgetting the drawdown. The projection assumes the account survives. A bad month can end it if it reaches the maximum drawdown. Check your room with the drawdown calculator.

Treating the split as fixed. Splits often start at one level and rise over time, and some firms sell a higher split as an add-on. Enter the split you have today.

Ignoring the reward rules. A consistency rule or a minimum number of trading days can delay a request. Test your daily results with the consistency rule checker.

Counting the fee twice, or not at all. If your firm refunds the fee, tick the box. If it does not, the after fee line is what you are actually ahead.

Leaving out the cost of getting funded. Before the first reward there is a challenge to pass. See how your risk and win rate affect that with the challenge pass probability simulator.

What to check at your firm

• The split. What it is now, when it rises, and whether a higher split costs extra.
• The reward cycle. A reward cycle can be weekly, every two weeks or monthly, and the first one is sometimes longer.
• Fee refund. Some firms refund the challenge fee with the first reward, some never do, and some only on certain plans.
• Minimums and conditions. A minimum reward amount, a consistency rule or minimum trading days can hold a request back.
• Scaling. A scaling plan may raise the account size over time, which the projection does not include.

Results depend on the inputs you enter, and firms' rules differ, so check your own firm's rules before you trade.
