Understanding Profit Splits and Scaling Plans
April 30, 2026
· By Adam Parusel
The profit split is the headline number — the share of profits you keep — but the scaling plan determines how big your account can become. A 90% split on a 50K account is worth less over time than an 80% split on a firm that scales you to 400K for consistent performance.
Read the scaling rules carefully: most require a minimum number of profitable months, a profit threshold and adherence to risk limits. Some firms increase your split as you scale, effectively rewarding loyalty and consistency.
When comparing offers, model your realistic monthly profit at each account size and project it across the scaling plan, rather than fixating on the starting split alone.
