Profit split calculator
The profit split is the share of gains the prop firm pays you. Enter a profit figure and this calculator shows, firm by firm, what reaches you and what stays with the firm — at the base split and at the maximum split reachable after scaling. Ranking is on the net amount, not the advertised percentage: a firm at 90 % paying monthly is not equivalent to a firm at 85 % paying every two weeks, so the first-payout delay sits in the table too. Firms whose split we could not verify are excluded from the ranking and listed under the table rather than shown with an estimate.

Amounts are gross of tax and of any withdrawal fees, which depend on the payout method. Figures in brackets show the base split when it differs from the maximum reachable after scaling.
What the percentage does not tell you
An advertised 90 % profit split is rarely the figure that applies on your first withdrawal. Three mechanisms modulate it, and none of them appear on a firm’s homepage.
The first is the starting tier. Many firms begin at 80 % and only reach their maximum split after one or several successful withdrawals, or after clearing a level in the scaling plan. The table above shows both values when they differ: the main figure is the maximum split, the one in brackets the base split.
The second is the payment cycle. A high split locked behind a monthly cycle ties up your capital longer than a lower split paid every two weeks. Over a year, the cash-flow difference often exceeds the percentage gap.
The third is the minimum withdrawal threshold. Some firms only allow a payout above a floor amount, which mechanically pushes back the first payment on smaller accounts.
How to read the result
The figure in green is what reaches your bank account before tax. The figure next to it is what the firm keeps. This split applies to profits only: losses stay entirely with the firm, which is precisely what you are buying when you pay for the evaluation.
Bear in mind this calculation covers a single withdrawal. Across several cycles the scaling plan changes the picture: a firm that raises your capital allocation at each level produces larger absolute gains at an identical split rate.
And tax
The amount shown is gross. Income from prop trading is taxable, and its classification depends on your jurisdiction and on the contract you signed with the firm. This is a question for a professional rather than a generic answer.
