Payouts
How is the profit split calculated?
You keep up to 90% of the net profit generated during a payout cycle; the exact share depends on the program.
You keep up to 90% of the net profit generated during a payout cycle. The exact percentage is set by the program you chose and is shown on that program’s page.
What “net” means
Net profit is realised profit for the cycle, after trading costs — spreads, commissions and any overnight financing — have been deducted. Unrealised profit on open positions is not included until the position is closed.
A worked example
On a $100,000 account that produces 5% in a cycle, at a 90% split:
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Cycle profit | $5,000 |
| Your share (90%) | $4,500 |
| Firm’s share (10%) | $500 |
The 5% figure here is arithmetic, not a target or an expectation. No return is promised.
Why Instant Funding pays less
Programs that skip the evaluation carry a lower split — typically 80% rather than 90% — because the firm takes on an unevaluated trader. The split is the price of skipping the filter, and it is stated on the program page before purchase.
Losses do not carry as personal debt
If a cycle produces a loss, you owe nothing. The loss is absorbed against the account, subject to the loss limits, and you are never personally liable for it.
