What it means
In a prop firm, the profit split is stated as a percentage, such as 80% to the trader and 20% to the firm. It applies to profit in the simulated funded account above the starting balance, paid at each eligible payout.
Many firms advertise splits of 80% or higher, and some offer up to 90% or 100% through add-ons, scaling plans or after a number of payouts. Any up to figure needs its condition in the same sentence.
Because the funded stage is usually simulated, the split is better described as the basis for a performance reward than as a share of trading profits the firm earned.
