How to use this tool
Three groups of inputs, one button. The tool reads your edge first — the dollar figures are downstream of it, so honest inputs matter more than optimistic ones.
Setup
Firm
Leave on Generic to model your own numbers. Picking a firm switches to that firm's real published terms and pricing instead.
Account size
The buying power of the account you'd trade.
Accounts
How many identical accounts you'd run at once.
Your edge
Win rate
The % of your trades that close green. Pull it from your journal or your last 50–100 trades, not from a good week.
Avg win : avg loss (R)
Your average winner divided by your average loser. 1.5R means typical wins are 1.5× typical losses.
Trades / week
How often you actually trade.
Risk per trade
The slice of the account each trade risks. 0.5% on $50,000 = $250 a trade.
These four numbers are your edge — the tool computes everything else from them.
Target
Planned monthly return
What you're aiming for. The tool tells you whether your edge actually supports it.
Profit target
The % gain the account must clear before a payout — it drives the day-count timeline.
Then press Calculate. If your expectancy is negative you'll get no income figure — fix the edge first; the coaching cards show which lever moves it fastest.
How this is calculated
No hidden formula. Every figure on this page comes from three numbers you control and the firm's own published terms.
Income
Path to payout
Eval cost
How many accounts should you actually run?
Running more accounts spreads your income across more firms, so one rule change, payout delay, or flag doesn't fully expose you. What it doesn't measure is your strategy: trade the identical setup — same entries, size, instrument — across every account and they're perfectly correlated. A single bad session doesn't cost one account's income; it can breach all of them, the same day, for the same reason.
One strategy, one bad session
What actually reduces risk: varying instrument, timeframe, or setup across accounts — not just the account count. Four accounts running four genuinely different approaches are diversified. Four accounts mirroring one signal are one bet wearing four jackets.
The Accounts slider above multiplies income AND eval cost — the break-even marker on the chart shows what scaling actually buys you.
What most traders get wrong
The number on this page is the ceiling, not the expectation. A few things worth knowing before you buy an evaluation.

Frequently asked
How much do funded traders actually make?+
It depends entirely on account size, monthly return, and the firm's profit split — there's no single answer. Use the calculator above with your own numbers instead of a marketed average; most published "trader income" figures are best-case, not typical.
Is this financial advice?+
No. This tool projects hypothetical outcomes from inputs you choose. It is not a promise, a guarantee, or investment advice. Prop-firm trading carries real risk of loss and most evaluations are not passed.
How long until my first payout?+
First, you need to clear the firm's profit target at your trading pace — that's the "Path to payout" estimate above. After that, payout cadence varies by firm and isn't data we fabricate — check the specific firm's payout policy.
How many prop firm accounts should I run?+
As many as genuinely diversify your risk — different firms, and ideally different strategies or instruments. Running many accounts with one identical strategy multiplies your cost and correlated risk, not your safety. Track each one against its firm's real rules once you're funded — that's what the dashboard below is for.
