Use the reserve field only as your own planning cushion. BestProps does not provide tax, accounting, financial, legal, payout, or account-compliance advice.

Estimated Result

Do not use this result as a reason to chase losses or buy another reset. This calculator only shows arithmetic from your inputs. It does not mean a payout is likely, approved, available, or worth pursuing.
Net out-of-pocket cost $0.00
Remaining unrecovered cost $0.00
Future payouts needed Enter payout amount

Gross profit before split needed: $0.00.

Enter your own cost and payout assumptions, then calculate.

Check Before Relying On This

Source warning: this tool has no firm presets. Use the firm’s current official checkout, dashboard, payout policy, and account rules before entering costs, payout split, fees, or eligibility assumptions.

  • Current official costs: evaluation, reset, activation, platform, data, and add-on fees can change.
  • Payout terms: verify split, minimum payout, maximum payout, transfer fee, payout cycle, and any buffer rule.
  • Eligibility: this tool does not check trading days, consistency rules, drawdown status, open disputes, KYC, country limits, or account standing.
  • Completed payouts: enter only payouts actually received, not pending requests or approved-but-unpaid amounts.
  • Account limits: taxes, compliance, contracts, inactivity, platform rules, and firm-specific restrictions are outside the math.
  • Decision limit: the output is not a recommendation to buy, reset, keep trading, increase risk, or request a payout.

Formula Notes

  • Net out-of-pocket cost equals evaluation fees plus reset fees plus activation fees plus add-on fees minus discounts.
  • Remaining unrecovered cost equals net out-of-pocket cost minus completed payouts already received.
  • Future payouts needed equals remaining unrecovered cost divided by estimated future payout after transfer fee and optional reserve.
  • Gross profit before split needed equals remaining unrecovered cost divided by the entered trader payout split.
