what is the profit split at ftmo prop firm?

FTMO shares profit with traders 80/20 before scaling and then after scaling they share 90/10.

But why do they have to split your profit with you? Afterall you did the trading and the profits are not even real since its a demo account.So why share in the unreal profit?

At the prop firm FTMO, the profit split depends on the stage and program, but here is the current standard structure (2026):

💰 FTMO Profit Split

1️⃣ Standard Profit Split

80% to the trader

20% to FTMO

So if you make $10,000 profit on a funded account:

You receive $8,000

FTMO keeps $2,000.

2️⃣ Increased Profit Split (Scaling Plan)

If you trade consistently and follow the rules, the split can increase to:

90% to the trader

10% to FTMO.

This usually happens after:

Multiple profitable payouts

Consistent risk management

Participating in their scaling program.

3️⃣ New 1-Step Challenge Option

In some newer evaluation programs, traders can start with up to 90% profit split from the first payout once funded.

✅ Important:

The profit split only applies after you pass the FTMO Challenge and Verification and receive the funded account.
