Prop Firm Profit Split Explained: How You Keep 85% to 95%

The profit split is the number every funded trader cares about most. It decides how much of your performance you actually keep. Here is how it works and how to get the best deal.

What is a profit split?

A profit split is the share of trading profit you keep versus the share the firm keeps. If a firm offers an 80% split and you generate 1,000 in profit on your funded account, your payout is 800.

At FFUNDED, you keep 85% of the profit you generate on your funded simulated account as standard. The profit split upgrade takes that to 90%, and it climbs to 95% as you move up the scaling plan.

How payouts are calculated

1. You trade your funded simulated account and generate profit.
2. You request a payout once you meet the program requirements.
3. The firm reviews the activity and pays your share, 85% as standard, on a regular schedule.

Payouts are real money, based on the performance you produce in the simulated environment.

What affects your real take-home

A headline split is not the whole story. Look at:

• The actual percentage, and whether it scales up over time.
• Payout frequency. Weekly or bi-weekly beats monthly.
• Payout reliability. Check reviews and published schedules.
• Hidden conditions. Avoid firms with vague or shifting payout rules.

FFUNDED publishes clear rules, pays on a regular schedule, and lets your split grow as you trade consistently.

How to maximise your split

• Trade consistently. Steady performance is rewarded over time.
• Respect the rules. Rule breaches can reduce eligibility.
• Scale up. Larger account sizes mean a larger payout for the same percentage return.

What a profit split is not

A profit split is not a fee, and it is not charged on your deposits. You keep your share of the profit you generate, and there is no separate cost taken from a payout beyond the split itself. In a simulated evaluation the firm carries the downside: if a strategy loses, you do not owe the losses back. That is the core trade for giving up a slice of the upside. It is also why the headline percentage matters less than whether the firm actually pays, and pays on time.

A worked payout example

Say you pass an evaluation, get funded, and grow the account by 5% over a payout cycle on a 100,000 account. That is 5,000 in profit. At the standard 85% split your share is 4,250 and the firm keeps 750. Trade the same 5% on a 200,000 account and your share doubles to 8,500 for the identical percentage return, which is why account size and consistent scaling move your take-home far more than chasing an extra point or two on the split. As your split climbs toward the top of the range for staying consistent, the same performance quietly pays you more.
