Profit Calculator

It depends on your account size, monthly return, and profit split. A trader making 5% per month on a $50,000 funded account generates $2,500 in profit; at a 90% split they keep $2,250 per month, or about $27,000 per year. This calculator lets you project earnings for any combination of account size, return, and split.

Consistent funded traders typically target 2-8% per month on their account size. Higher returns are possible in strong months but hard to sustain — and chasing them usually means taking risk that threatens the drawdown limit. When projecting yearly income, it is safer to model a conservative average than your best month.

The profit split is the percentage of trading profits you keep, with the rest going to the firm. Most futures prop firms offer 80-100% splits, and many pay traders 100% of the first several thousand dollars in profits before the split kicks in. A 90% split on $3,000 of monthly profit means you receive $2,700.

Leverage of capital versus risk. Making $2,000 per month on your own account at 5% would require $40,000 of your own money at risk. With a prop firm, you control the same buying power for an evaluation fee of a few hundred dollars — your maximum loss is the fee, while the upside scales with the funded account size.

Usually not. Funded accounts have a fixed size and drawdown limit, and most traders withdraw profits regularly rather than letting them accumulate. Growth typically comes from scaling programs or adding accounts rather than compounding within one account — so a flat monthly projection is usually more realistic than a compounding one.

Three main paths: qualify for a larger account through the firm's scaling plan, run multiple funded accounts at once (many futures firms allow several accounts per trader, sometimes with copy trading between them), or improve the profit split by choosing firms with 90-100% payout terms. Increasing size is generally safer than increasing risk per trade.
