Prop Firm Payout Calculator

On a funded account you trade the firm’s capital and keep a share of the profit — the profit split. Most futures and CFD firms pay the trader 80–100% of profits, with the firm keeping the rest. You request a payout of your share once you meet the firm’s rules (a minimum profit, minimum trading days, and sometimes a buffer above your starting balance).

Splits commonly run from 80/20 up to 90/10 in the trader’s favor, and some firms advertise 100% on the first payout or after a threshold. A higher split is better, but weigh it against the account cost, drawdown rules, and payout frequency — a great split on an account you keep failing is worth nothing.

It’s the account profit you need to earn so your payout covers the fees you’ve already paid — evaluation, activation, and data. On a 90% split with $150 of fees, you need about $167 of account profit before your payout puts you in the black. It’s a quick reality check on the true cost of getting funded.

Payouts are generally treated as income, and many firms issue a 1099 (US) or equivalent. This calculator shows your gross and net-of-fees payout, not your after-tax take-home. Set aside for taxes and confirm the treatment with a professional — this is a planning tool, not tax advice.
