Check what the split is calculated on. Commissions and swap charges are usually deducted before the split, so a headline 90% on a high-commission account can pay less than 80% on a cheap one. Check also whether the advertised rate is the starting rate or the rate after scaling — the two are often presented interchangeably in marketing.
Profit split
Payouts
The percentage of profit on a funded account that goes to you rather than the firm. 80% is the category norm, 90% is common after a scaling step, and a small number of firms advertise 100%.
How firms apply it
What it means for your trading
The split matters far less than most traders assume relative to the drawdown rules, because it only applies to money you have already made. A firm with a great split and a trailing intraday drawdown will pay you 90% of nothing more often than a firm with a static limit and an 80% split.
