Earnings Projection
Projections are estimates based on consistent monthly returns. Actual trading results vary.
How the Profit Simulator Works
Follow these steps to project your potential earnings as a funded trader.
Choose Your Account
Select an account size and profit split percentage that matches a real prop firm offer. Our simulator uses data from 35+ firms to give you accurate projections.
Set Your Performance
Enter your expected monthly return percentage. Be realistic — most consistently profitable traders average 3-8% per month on funded accounts.
Configure Timeframe
Choose how many months to project forward. The simulator models compound growth, showing how reinvesting profits and scaling up accelerates your earnings over time.
Analyze Your Projections
Review your projected monthly income, cumulative earnings, and growth trajectory. Compare different scenarios side by side to find the optimal strategy for your goals.
Understanding Prop Firm Profit Projections
Estimating potential earnings from prop firm trading requires understanding several interconnected variables: account size, profit split ratio, monthly performance, and scaling opportunities. Unlike retail trading where your capital limits your position sizing, prop firms provide funded accounts ranging from $5,000 to $400,000 or more, meaning even modest percentage returns can translate into significant monthly income. A trader earning 5% monthly on a $200,000 account with an 80% profit split takes home $8,000 — a figure that would require $200,000 in personal capital to replicate independently.
However, realistic profit projections must account for the fact that trading returns are never perfectly linear. Markets cycle through periods of high and low volatility, and even skilled traders experience drawdown months. Our simulator helps you model conservative, moderate, and aggressive scenarios so you can plan around realistic expectations rather than best-case assumptions. By understanding the range of possible outcomes, you can make more informed decisions about which account size, firm, and trading strategy align with your financial goals.
The Power of Compounding and Scaling
One of the most powerful features of prop firm trading is the ability to compound your results through scaling programs. Many firms increase your account size by 25-40% every few months if you meet performance targets. This means a trader who starts with a $100,000 account could be trading a $200,000 or even $400,000 account within a year, effectively doubling or quadrupling their income without requiring additional capital. Our simulator factors in these scaling milestones to show you the long-term income trajectory that many traders overlook when evaluating prop firm opportunities.
Choosing the Right Account Size and Firm
The profit simulator reveals an important insight: the optimal account size depends on your trading style and risk tolerance, not just your budget. A trader who consistently earns 3% monthly on a larger account will often outperform someone chasing 10% on a smaller one, because larger accounts provide more room for drawdowns and reduce the pressure to overtrade. Use the simulator to compare different firm configurations — account sizes, profit splits, and scaling plans — to identify which combination maximizes your risk-adjusted income over a 6-12 month horizon.
