Prop Firm Payout Calculator

Prop firms advertise their profit split as one big number — "80% split!" — but what you actually receive depends on the split, the evaluation fee you paid to get there, and whether that fee gets refunded. This calculator does the full math in one place.

This tool is free and doesn't require sign-up. Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links — see our full disclosure. The calculator itself has no affiliate logic: the math is the same regardless of which firm you pick.
Firm's share of this profit$1,000.00
Evaluation fee refunded this payout$0.00
Total cash you receive$4,000.00
Net gain after evaluation cost (lifetime)$3,550.00

"Net gain after evaluation cost" assumes this is the first payout and subtracts the fee once. On later payouts, set the fee to $0 since you've already recovered it. This is a simplified model — it doesn't account for taxes, withdrawal fees, or firm-specific minimum payout thresholds. Always confirm exact terms with the firm before relying on this for a real payout decision.

Why the same "80% split" pays out differently at different firms

Two firms can both advertise an 80% split and still leave you with very different amounts, because the evaluation fee, refund policy, and minimum payout threshold all shift the real number. A firm with a cheaper evaluation but no refund can beat a pricier one that refunds the fee, depending on how much profit you actually bank before your first payout request. Run your own numbers above instead of comparing headline percentages.

Where the profit split numbers come from

Splits and starting prices used in the presets are pulled from our Prop Firm Rules Comparison Table, sourced from each firm's own published documentation. Firms change splits and fee structures often — check the firm's current terms before making a decision based on this calculator.
