Profit split explained
The profit split is the share of the profits you keep. It matters less than rules that decide whether you ever get paid, but it adds up.
How to read it
“90/10” means you keep 90% and the firm keeps 10%. Some firms offer 100% on your first block of profit (for example the first $10,000) and then 90/10. Others start at 70–80% and raise your split as you hit milestones.
Example
You earn $5,000 in a payout cycle. At 80/20 you receive $4,000; at 90/10 you receive $4,500. The $500 difference matters over many cycles, but a drawdown that resets your account costs far more than a 10% split difference.
Add-ons
Some firms sell add-ons that raise your split (for example from 80% to 90%) at extra cost. Our tables list the base split and mention add-ons in the firm notes.
