Tools / Break-even
Break-even calculator
A 90% split doesn't always pay you back faster. Payout caps change from cycle to cycle, so an account that releases only $1,500 on the first payout needs several more cycles than one with no cap. Here we build the actual ladder and find the point where it clears your total cost.

Total cost is counted the same way as the true cost calculator: evaluation fee + retries + activation fee.

Profit needed is total cost ÷ split. At a 90% split you have to make $112 in the account to get $100 back.
Payouts to break even is the minimum count assuming you withdraw the full cap every cycle. In practice minimum trading days, consistency rules and the safety net stretch it out. Click a row to open the per-cycle ladder and its conditions.
First payout consumed is the share of your first net payout that goes to recovering what you paid. At 50K most firms recover it in one go, so payout count alone hides the difference. This ratio shows it.
Where we could not read a numeric payout cap, we skip the calculation and show the original wording instead. We do not replace a value we could not read with a plausible-looking number.
