Prop firm payout calculator
Enter your account size, how many accounts you run and a realistic monthly return. It shows what you keep after the profit split, month by month, with optional scale-ups and conversion to pounds.
How the payouts are worked out
Each month, profit = account size × monthly return. Your share is that profit × your split, and the total is multiplied by the number of accounts. If you add a scale-up, the account size grows by that percentage at the end of each period, so the same return earns more.
Real results come in uneven lumps, not smooth months, and a losing month earns nothing while still costing you room on the account. Use a cautious return, and remember most firms pay every 14 days or on request rather than monthly.

Questions
What is a realistic monthly return on a prop firm account?
Steady traders often aim for 2–4% a month. Higher returns usually mean higher risk, which raises the chance of breaking a loss limit and losing the account.
How does the profit split work?
The firm keeps part of the profit and pays you the rest. With an 80% split, you get $800 of every $1,000 of profit. Some firms raise the split as you scale up.
Do I pay tax on prop firm payouts in the UK?
Payouts are usually treated as income, but your situation decides how. PropPassCheck can't give tax advice: speak to an accountant or check HMRC guidance.
