The profit split is the share of profits a funded trader keeps, typically 70-90%. A high split on unfair rules is worth less than a fair split on a tradeable account.
The profit split is the percentage of trading profits a funded trader keeps under a prop firm arrangement, with the firm taking the remainder. Standard splits run from 70% to 90%, with higher splits usually tied to account type or scaling milestones. The split matters less than the rules around it: a high split on an account with impossible drawdown constraints is worth less than a fair split on a tradeable one.
How It Works
- Expressed as a percentage, e.g. 80/20 in the trader's favour
- Paid on the firm's payout schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
- Some firms increase the split through scaling plans
Trading Tips
Compare the split alongside the drawdown rules and payout schedule, not in isolation
Check whether the split applies from the first payout or after milestones
