How prop firm payouts work, start to finish

A payout is a reward paid from company funds under a published rewards policy, calculated as your share of the profit generated on a funded simulated account. Understanding the sequence removes almost all of the anxiety around it.

The sequence

• Reach the funded stage by passing every phase of your evaluation without a breach.
• Generate closed profit above the payout threshold on the funded account.
• Wait out the first payout window, which starts from the day the funded account opens.
• Complete identity verification, which is required before any money leaves the company.
• Request the payout; the requested amount is deducted from the account immediately so the balance always reflects reality.
• Review and settlement, after which the payment appears on your statement and on the public verified payouts ledger.

What you actually receive

Your profit split determines your share. The payouts page shows the gross request and the net amount you will receive after the company share, before you confirm — there is no surprise deduction later.

Why a request gets held

• Identity verification incomplete or documents expired.
• Profit generated inside a news blackout window or below the minimum hold time.
• A consistency or per-trade risk rule triggered during the payout period.
• Payment details that do not match the verified account holder.

Every settled payment is published on the verified payouts wall, generated live from the ledger rather than from marketing screenshots.
