Prop Firm Profit Calculator

Enter your account size (e.g., 50K), win rate (percentage of trades that are profitable), average win and average loss in dollars, and the firm's profit split (typically 80-90%).

The calculator projects your monthly and annual earnings based on these inputs. For example, with a 50K account, 55% win rate, $200 average win, $100 average loss, and 90/10 profit split — you'd keep approximately $2,700/month after the firm's cut.

Be realistic with your inputs. Use data from your last 100+ trades, not your best week. The calculator is only as accurate as the data you feed it.

Monthly Profit is your estimated gross earnings before the firm's cut. This assumes consistent trading — real results will vary month to month.

After Profit Split shows what you actually keep. A 90/10 split means you keep 90% of profits. The difference between 80/10 and 90/10 is significant: on $5,000 monthly profit, that's $500/month or $6,000/year more in your pocket.

Annual Projection — treat this as a best-case scenario. Professional funded traders typically have 2-3 months per year where they break even or lose money. Discount annual projections by 20-30% for a realistic target.

Social media shows traders making $10K-$50K/month with prop firms. Here's the reality: only 4-10% of traders pass their evaluation, and of those, many lose their accounts within the first few months of funded trading.

Realistic monthly income for a funded trader: $1,000-$5,000/month on a 50K-150K account. The top 1% of funded traders earn $10K+/month, but they typically run multiple accounts and have years of experience.

The most reliable path to prop firm income is consistency over size. A trader making $2,000/month consistently across 3 accounts earns $6,000/month with far less risk than someone swinging for $10K on a single account.

Optimize win rate AND R:R together. A 50% win rate with 2:1 R:R is more profitable than a 70% win rate with 0.8:1 R:R. Use the calculator to test different combinations.

Choose the right profit split. Firms like Apex and Lucid offer 90/10 from day one. Others start at 80/20 and scale up. Calculate the long-term difference — it adds up fast.

Scale with multiple accounts. Instead of trading one large account aggressively, run 2-3 smaller accounts conservatively. This diversifies your risk and potentially doubles your income.

Compound your profits. Withdraw 50%, reinvest 50% into new evaluations. Each additional funded account is a new income stream with capped downside (you can only lose the eval fee).
