Prop Challenge Calculator

Enter a challenge's own numbers and your own trading numbers, get back what it's actually worth, not what the sticker price implies.

The challenge
The recurring minimum profit required to request a payout once funded.
What you actually keep. All figures below are the payout after this cut, not the gross target amount.
Your trading
The numbers here are illustrations, not benchmarks. Your own average monthly return and average drawdown are the only performance assumptions used, nothing here invents a pace for you. Every day-count is derived directly from the targets and risk figures you enter.
These figures assume a consistent pace, evaluation and live trading alike. Whether that's realistic depends on the firm, some allow one aggressive swing to clear an evaluation fast, others prohibit deviating from your normal approach at all. Either way, this is not advice to trade small and steady during evaluation and then loosen up once funded, or the reverse. Hammering an evaluation on a style you won't keep using live is a habit that's genuinely hard to unlearn once real payouts are on the line, it doesn't just distort this calculator's numbers, it distorts how you actually trade afterward.
