Profit Split
The share of profits you keep once funded, often 80% to 100% on the trader's side.
The profit split defines how profits are shared between you and the prop firm on a funded account. Many start at 80/20 and progress to 90/10 or 100%. Compare it with the evaluation price and payout speed to judge the real offer.
In depth
The profit split is the share of gains you keep once funded, the rest going to the prop firm. A 90/10 split means you keep 90% of what you generate. It's the model's trade-off: the firm puts up the capital and the risk, you bring the performance, and you share.
The raw percentage doesn't tell the whole story. Read it with the other conditions: some firms offer 100% on the first gains then switch to 80/90, others impose a minimum withdrawal threshold or a lower share at the start. A high split on a firm with suffocating rules is worth less than a decent split on a flexible one.
In practice, compare the split against the rest: payout frequency, minimum withdrawal threshold, share kept on the first payouts. Our comparator lays these criteria side by side so you don't fixate on the percentage alone.
A 90/10 split: on $1,000 of gains, you take home $900.
Choosing a firm on the split number alone. An attractive 90/10 can be neutralized by rare payouts, a high withdrawal threshold or a punitive drawdown. The split is judged within the whole set of rules, not in isolation.
Frequently asked
Does a 100% split really exist?
Some firms advertise 100% on a first tranche of gains, often as a promo or temporarily. Beyond that, the split usually returns to 80 to 90%. Always read the conditions beyond the hook.
Is the split negotiable?
Rarely for a retail trader: it's set by the chosen plan. It can, however, improve by moving up to higher tiers (scaling) at some firms.
High split or frequent payouts, which to favor?
It depends on your style. A steady trader may prefer frequent, low-threshold payouts; another, a higher split. The point is to read both together, not one without the other.
