What does Profit split mean?
A profit split is the proportion of eligible profit or reward allocated to the trader and provider. It applies to the eligible amount, which may be smaller than total displayed profit.
Example
At an illustrative 80% share, $1,500 of eligible profit produces $1,200 before separate deductions.
Illustrative example; not a provider’s quoted offer.Why it matters for prop traders
Payout caps, fees and eligibility conditions matter alongside the advertised percentage.
How much would I actually receive?
Illustrative calculation: $2,000 of eligible profit at an 80% trader share gives $1,600. A separate $25 payment charge would reduce the receipt to $1,575. If a payout cap applies, establish whether it limits the eligible profit, request amount or final payment before doing the calculation. No example here describes a particular firm's current offer.
