Prop Firm Payout Calculator
Calculate what reaches you after the profit split, payout fees and the evaluation fee you paid.
A funded account payout is a share of the profit rather than the profit itself, and the headline split is not the whole picture. Payout fees, the number of accounts run, and the evaluation fee already paid all affect what actually reaches you, and this prop firm payout calculator accounts for each of them.
Formula: net = (profit x split) - payout fees - evaluation fee
Your figures
The evaluation or funded account's nominal size.
Profit generated on the funded account this period.
The share of profit that reaches you. The default is a common shape, not any firm's terms — splits differ by firm, by account and by how long an account has been funded.
Per account, from your own receipt — the default is a round illustration and no firm's price list is held here. Enter 0 if the firm refunds it.
Any fixed processing fee deducted per payout.

What this means
After the 80% split and fees, US$5,900.00 reaches you. The evaluation fee is included because a payout that does not clear it is not yet a profit on the arrangement as a whole.
- Excludes tax. Payouts from funded accounts are usually taxable income, and the treatment varies by jurisdiction.
- Assumes the profit shown is eligible for payout. Firms apply minimum payout thresholds, payout cycles and consistency rules that can defer it.

About the Prop Firm Payout calculation
It works out the net figure. The evaluation fee is included by default, because a payout that has not yet cleared what the challenge cost is not a profit on the arrangement as a whole — it is partial recovery of an outlay.
For firms that refund the evaluation fee on the first payout, entering zero produces the pure split that a plain profit split calculator would show. The result also reports the return measured against the account size funded, which is the figure that makes the arrangement comparable with trading your own capital.
Prop Firm Payout formula
gross profit = profit per account × number of accounts
your share = gross profit × split % ÷ 100
net = your share − payout fees − evaluation fees
profit needed to cover the evaluation fee:
break-even = evaluation fee ÷ (split % ÷ 100)- split
- Your share of profit, commonly 80% to 90% on a funded account.
- evaluation fee
- What the challenge cost. Enter 0 if the firm refunds it.
The break-even figure is the one worth knowing before starting. At an 80% split, a $500 evaluation fee requires $625 of profit before your share covers what you paid — and that is per account, so running several multiplies the outlay as well as the potential.
Return on the capital funded is deliberately measured against the account size rather than the fee. It is the figure that makes the arrangement comparable with trading your own money: a $6,400 payout on a $100,000 account is a 6.4% return on capital you did not have to provide.
Running multiple accounts scales both sides. The profit multiplies, but so do the evaluation fees and the exposure to a rule breach — a single bad day can breach several accounts at once if they are traded identically.
Prop Firm Payout: a worked example
A $100,000 funded account with $8,000 of profit, an 80% split, and a $500 evaluation fee that is not refunded.
- Gross profit$8,000
- Your share at 80%8,000 × 0.80 = $6,400
- The firm's share$1,600
- Evaluation fee−$500
- Net to you$5,900
- Break-even profit500 ÷ 0.80 = $625
$5,900 reaches you — a 5.9% return on $100,000 of capital you did not have to put up. The evaluation fee was covered once profit passed $625.

Limitations of the Prop Firm Payout calculator
Every calculation makes assumptions. These are the ones that matter here.
- Excludes tax. Payouts are usually taxable income and the treatment varies by jurisdiction and by how the arrangement is structured.
- Assumes the profit shown is eligible for payout. Minimum thresholds, payout cycles and consistency rules can all defer it.
- Does not model scaling plans, where the account size or split improves after consistent performance.
- Does not account for accounts lost to a breach, whose evaluation fees are a sunk cost against the payouts from surviving accounts.
Frequently asked questions about Prop Firm Payout
Should the evaluation fee be included?
If you want to know whether the arrangement has made you money, yes — it is a real cost. If you only want the payout figure the firm will send, enter zero. Both readings are legitimate and the calculator shows the components separately.
What is a typical prop firm profit share?
Most firms offer between 70% and 90%, often improving with account tenure or through a scaling plan. This calculator does not assess whether any particular split is favourable — enter the one in your agreement.
Does running more accounts increase my return?
It scales the profit, and it scales the evaluation fees and breach exposure by the same factor. Accounts traded identically also breach identically, so several accounts running the same strategy are closer to one large position than to a diversified set.
Why is the return measured against account size rather than the fee?
Because it makes the arrangement comparable with trading your own capital. Measured against the fee the percentage looks enormous, which is true but not a like-for-like comparison with any other use of your money.
Does this work as an FTMO payout calculator?
It works for FTMO or any other programme, and is affiliated with none of them. What matters is that the split, the payout processing fee and the refund policy you enter are the ones in your own agreement, since firms differ on whether the evaluation fee comes back on the first withdrawal.
