**A prop firm profit split is your share of the profit you withdraw from a funded account.** With a 90% split, you keep $900 of every $1,000 payout. In our data, 80% and 90% splits are the most common, and some programs advertise 100% on early payouts.

## Key takeaways

- The split applies to each payout, not to your account balance or your fees.
- Of 39 programs we track with a published split, 17 pay 80%, 13 pay 90%, 4 advertise 100%, 4 pay 70% and 1 pays 95%.
- Some programs raise the split over time, or pay a different split once you're moved to a live account.
- A higher split doesn't always mean more money. Payout rules and fees matter as much.

## How does a profit split work?

When you request a payout, the firm pays you your percentage and keeps the rest. Request $2,000 with an 80% split, and you receive $1,600\. The split never touches your fees, which you've already paid, and it doesn't apply to profit you leave in the account.

## What profit splits are most common?

When we checked on September 26 and 27, 2026, 39 programs published a split:

- **80%:** 17 programs
- **90%:** 13 programs
- **100%:** 4 programs
- **70%:** 4 programs
- **95%:** 1 program

See every program with a 90% split on our [90% profit split prop firms](https://www.propfirmduel.com/90-percent-profit-split-prop-firms/) page.

## Do profit splits change over time?

At some firms, yes. A split can change in three common ways:

- **It rises** after a set number of payouts or a profit milestone.
- **It starts at 100%** for an initial amount, then drops to a lower split.
- **It depends on the account type.** [Take Profit Trader](https://www.propfirmduel.com/take-profit-trader/), for example, lists 80% on its simulated PRO account and 90% on its live PRO+ account.

Some firms also sell a higher split as an add-on at checkout. [Goat Funded Futures](https://www.propfirmduel.com/goat-funded-futures/), for example, lists a 90% split as an add-on for 20% more on one of its programs.

## Does a higher split mean more money?

Not always. Take two programs that each earn you $6,000 in profit over three months:

|                         | Program A            | Program B        |
| ----------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------- |
| Split                   | 90%                  | 80%              |
| Profit you can withdraw | $3,000 (payout caps) | $6,000 (no caps) |
| You receive             | $2,700               | $4,800           |

Program A's better split lost to Program B's looser payout rules. Caps, buffers and winning-day minimums decide how much of your profit you can actually withdraw, so read them alongside the split.

## Common questions

### Is the split taken before or after fees?

The split applies only to the payout amount. Your fees are separate costs you've already paid.

### Is a 100% profit split real?

Yes, but often with conditions, such as a limit on the amount or number of payouts. Read the terms.

### Can a firm change my split?

Firms can change terms for new accounts. Save a copy of the terms when you buy. Compare total costs with the [All-in Cost tool](https://www.propfirmduel.com/all-in-cost/) and see every program on our [firm pages](https://www.propfirmduel.com/firms/).

## How we got these numbers

Figures come from each firm's own website, reviewed by a person on September 26–27, 2026\. Confirm current terms on the firm's site. See our [methodology](https://www.propfirmduel.com/methodology/).
