Profit Split

Detailed Explanation

Profit splits in the prop trading industry typically range from 75% to 95%, with the trader keeping the larger share. For example, on an 80/20 split, a trader who earns $10,000 in profit keeps $8,000 and the firm retains $2,000. Some prop firms offer scaling plans where the profit split increases over time — for instance, starting at 80% and rising to 90% or 95% after demonstrating consistent profitability. The profit split is one of the most important factors when comparing prop firms.
