Prop Firm ROI Calculator

Compare two futures prop firms on what actually matters: cost of failure, real take-home after every fee, and the odds of passing — not just the headline profit split.

Your trading assumptions

These apply equally to both firms so the comparison isolates firm economics. Industry data puts first-attempt evaluation pass rates well under one in three.

Firm A

Standard accounts have a lower monthly cost and a $149 activation fee if you pass. No Activation Fee accounts have a higher monthly cost, $0 activation, and can be up to $30 off when adding daily loss limit; edit the eval fee if modeling that option. Taxes not modeled, add total price after taxes to your estimate if needed.

This calculator is an educational estimate, not financial advice. It models expected value under your own assumptions; it does not predict your results. Most evaluation participants do not reach sustained payouts.
