Best Profit Split Prop Firms
Last updated 2026-07-12
The headline profit split is the least useful number a prop firm publishes. Every firm on this page advertises a split that sounds generous, several advertise structures that sound like keeping everything, and none of those numbers tells you what actually reaches your bank account, because the split is applied after the caps, the buffers, the minimum days, and the consistency checks have already decided how much money there is to split.
So this page ranks by the Payout Potential Score instead of the marketing number. That score reads the split structure, the payout caps and frequency, the gates on requesting, the scaling terms, and the time to first payout, all from the published methodology, with commission playing no part, and the payout evidence we track per firm feeding the Trust Score instead. The result is a ranking of how much a profitable trader can actually extract, which is the question the headline split pretends to answer.

The Ranked List
The order below is the Payout Potential Score doing the work, computed per firm from the same data source as everything else on this site. Ties break on the composite score and then alphabetically, and the order recomputes when a firm changes its terms. Every entry shows the firm's actual split structure as data, right next to the score that tells you whether that structure survives contact with the rest of the rulebook.
- #1
Take Profit Trader
72/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $150 to $360
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 80 percent split
A high split above the profit buffer on the funded account, stepping higher again on live, and the reason it ranks where it does is access, since on-demand withdrawals with zero minimum days mean the split applies to money you can actually move today. A generous split you can reach beats a perfect split you cannot.
- #2
Alpha Futures
73/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $79 to $859
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 90 percent split
A flat high split across the current account types, with the plan family deciding the gates around it rather than the split itself. That simplicity is worth something, because what varies here is when you can ask, not how much you keep once you do.
- #3
Apex Trader Funding
69/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $199 to $2,290
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: Weekly
- 100 percent split
A keep-everything first tranche on its performance accounts before the standard split takes over, which front-loads the take-home for the trader's earliest withdrawals. The caps and the consistency check applied at the payout request are what shape the real number, and the review walks that math.
- #4
Topstep
73/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $49 to $229
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: Cycle-based
- 90 percent split
A flat high split from the first dollar for current joiners, no threshold to clear before it applies. The winning-day cycles set the tempo of requests, so the split here is generous and metered, and traders who fit the cycle rhythm keep the most.
- #5
Bulenox
68/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $145 to $535
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: Weekly
- 100 percent split
A keep-it-all opening stretch until a cumulative withdrawal threshold, then a high split after it, which is one of the friendlier structures in futures for the first stretch of payouts. The catch is the consistency check at every single request, the exact place where a headline split and a real payout part ways.
- #6
BluSky Trading
69/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $59 to $749
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Static
- Payout cadence: Daily
- 90 percent split
A traditional high split on the main family, with the stage of the funnel deciding when you see it. The structure itself is standard and clean, and the extraction question at this firm is about reaching the payout stage, not about what happens once you are there.
- #7
TradeDay
70/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $125 to $480
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 50 percent split
A graduated structure where the earliest Quick Pay dollars split evenly and the rate steps up as you extract more, maturing further on the live path. It is the most honest version of a staircase split, since the firm publishes the steps instead of hiding them, and the on-demand access means the staircase actually gets climbed.
- #8
Funded Futures Family
69/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $79 to $734
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 90 percent split
One flat high split on every payout across both plan generations, no tranches, no staircase. The winning-day gates set the rhythm, and the flat structure means the number you see is the number you get on each approved request, which is rarer than it sounds.
- #9
Tradeify
77/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $99 to $796
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 90 percent split
A high sim-funded split across the families, with the plan choice deciding cadence and gates more than the split line does. The extraction story here is really the plan matrix, and the split is the constant while everything around it moves.
- #10
Phidias Propfirm
58/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $88 to $1,125
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Static
- Payout cadence: Cycle-based
- 75 percent split
A progressive split on the premium family that climbs as the account matures, alongside paths that trade split for speed. The climb rewards traders who stay, and the tight floors decide how many traders stay long enough to see the top of it, which is the honest tension in this firm's whole design.
- #11
MyFundedFutures
70/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $95 to $477
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: Varies by plan
- 80 percent split
A standard high split on sim funding with variation by plan line. Nothing exotic in the split itself, and that is fine, because this firm's payout strength is the reliability of the machine around it more than the rate printed on it.
- #12
Lucid Trading
65/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $100 to $840
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: Cycle-based
- 90 percent split
A high split from the first dollar on the flexible path, with a payout-count structure that caps the account's life before moving you live. The split is real and immediate, and the account design means you should think in total extraction per account, not just the per-payout rate.
- #13
Leeloo Trading
60/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $250 to $850
- Drawdown: Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: Monthly
- 100 percent split
A two-stage split that steps up after a cumulative profit threshold, paired with a monthly request window and manual review. The structure back-loads the reward, and the review's payout evidence is the essential companion reading before betting on reaching the second stage.
- #14
Earn2Trade
71/ 100TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $150 to $550
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: Weekly
- 80 percent split
The rate is set by the size of each withdrawal request, not by what you have made in total. Clear your account's threshold and you get the better band, come in under it and the firm takes half. Every other staged split on this page counts your cumulative total, so this is the one where sizing your request is what decides the rate. Accounts bought before the mid-2026 change keep the old flat terms.
How We Ranked These
The Payout Potential Score measures extraction, not advertising. It reads the split structure including tranches and staircases, the caps per request and per period, the request gates, the scaling terms, and the time to first payout, all from the structured data, all per the published methodology.
Commission never enters it, no firm can buy a position, and the order recomputes when the data changes. If a firm's split ever cannot be verified first-party, that firm appears at the bottom of the page without a rank until its data can be confirmed.
What To Look For
Effective payout analysis first, because this is the section the headline split does not want you to read. Your real take-home is the split applied to the money that survives four filters: the buffer, which makes your first profits non-withdrawable, the caps, which limit how much any single request can move, the gates, which decide when you are allowed to ask at all, and the consistency checks, which at some firms are applied at the withdrawal request itself, meaning one outsized day can hold up everything. Two firms with identical headline splits can produce wildly different bank deposits once those four run, and that difference is most of what the Payout Potential Score measures.
Keep-it-all first tranches deserve a specific word, because they are the most persuasive structure in the niche. A firm that lets you keep everything up to a threshold is front-loading your reward, which is genuinely good for you, and also genuinely good for the firm, since most funded accounts do not survive long past their first payouts. Take the front-loaded money, and just do not let the tranche convince you the firm is generous everywhere else. Check what the split becomes after the threshold and what the request gates look like, because that is the deal you actually signed.
Staircase and progressive splits reward longevity, and whether that suits you depends on an honest read of your own consistency. If you are the trader who keeps accounts alive for months, a climbing split pays you more over time than a flat one. If you are still blowing accounts while you learn, and most traders are for a while, the flat-split firms pay you more of what you actually make before the account goes. Match the structure to the trader you are now, not the one you plan to be.
And weigh the split against speed, because they trade off. The split decides how big each payout is, the payout structure decides how many payouts there are, and total extraction is the product of both. A slightly lower split you can pull weekly usually beats a higher one behind a monthly window. The fastest payout roundup ranks that other half, and the two pages together answer the money question properly.
FAQ
Which prop firm pays out the most?
In structure terms, the strongest extraction profiles on the futures side right now belong to Take Profit Trader, which pairs a high split with on-demand access, and the keep-everything-first-tranche firms like Bulenox and Apex, which front-load the take-home. The ranked list above is the computed answer, and it updates when the data does.
Which prop firm has the highest payout?
If highest means the split rate, several firms advertise structures that reach a keep-everything level on early tranches or specific account types. If highest means the most money reaching traders, that is the Payout Potential Score's question, and the top of the list above is the current answer, because caps, gates, and buffers change the outcome more than the headline rate does.
What is the best profit split prop firm?
The best split is the one you can actually collect, which is why this page ranks by extraction rather than the advertised rate. A high split with on-demand access and light gates, the Take Profit Trader shape, beats a nominally higher rate behind buffers and windows. Check the score, then check the gates, then believe the split.
Is a 100 percent profit split real?
Yes, as a structure, and no, as a forever rate. Several futures firms genuinely let you keep everything up to a threshold or on specific account types, and the standard split takes over after that. The structure is real money and worth taking. Just read where the threshold sits and what the split becomes on the other side of it, because that second number is the one you will live with.
