Profit Split
Definition
The percentage of trading profits that a trader keeps vs what the prop firm retains.
How It Works
Profit split is one of the most important factors when choosing a prop firm. Common splits range from 70/30 to 90/10 (trader/firm), with some firms offering up to 100% profit splits.
For example, with an 80/20 split on $10,000 in profits, you keep $8,000 and the firm keeps $2,000. Some firms offer tiered splits that increase as you prove yourself — starting at 75% and scaling to 90% over time.
Higher profit splits directly impact your income, so always compare this alongside challenge fees and rules.
