Prop Firms Payouts Leaderboard (Updated Weekly)

We track how much the biggest prop firms claim to have paid out to their traders. The table below ranks firms by their self-reported total payout figures. If a firm is not on our list, that doesn't mean that they do not pay out, that simply means that they haven't made their total payout amount public.

Prop Firms That Have Paid Out The Most in Total to Their Traders

One important note: these numbers come directly from each firm's website or marketing materials. Those are the only sources available to us. We have no way to independently verify the claims. If a company overstates its numbers, we won't know. Treat this data as a useful reference point, not as audited financial reporting. We would like to think that companies are being honest and we are doing our best to keep the bad actors out of our site. A firm reporting $500 million in payouts tells you something about their scale and longevity, but it's not a guarantee of your personal payout experience.

Why Payout Totals Matter When Choosing a Prop Firm

A firm that has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to traders has done something most firms haven't: survived long enough to do it. Between 2023 and 2024, an estimated 80 to 100 prop firms shut down. Many of those had flashy marketing and low prices. Very few had meaningful payout histories.

High payout totals tell you two things. First, the firm has a business model that works without relying on failed evaluations as the only revenue stream. Second, real traders are passing evaluations, requesting payouts, and receiving money. That's a basic bar, but a surprising number of firms struggle to clear it.

Payout Size Does Not Equal Payout Reliability

A firm reporting $400 million in total payouts could still deny your specific withdrawal request. Total payouts and individual payout reliability are related but separate things. A firm with a smaller total but zero payout complaints on Trustpilot and Reddit might be a safer choice for you personally than the biggest name in the space.

When you're comparing firms, look at the payout number alongside reviews, payout speed, and the clarity of their withdrawal rules. If a firm makes you jump through hoops to get your money out (video reviews, screenshot submissions, vague compliance checks), the total payout figure on their homepage matters less than the process you'll face when it's your turn.

How Firms Calculate These Numbers

Not every firm counts the same way. Some report gross payouts (the total amount sent to traders before any fees). Others report net figures. Some include payouts from all product lines, while others only count their main evaluation program.

You'll also notice that firms with longer operating histories tend to have higher totals simply because they've been around longer. FTMO has been operating since 2015. A firm launched in 2023 could have a better payout rate per trader but a lower total because it's had less time to accumulate volume. Keep that context in mind when comparing the numbers.

What to Look For Beyond the Total Number

The total payout figure is a starting point. Here's what to check after you've looked at the leaderboard:

Payout speed. How fast does the firm process approved withdrawals? Some firms pay within hours. Others take 7 to 14 business days. If you're trading for income, speed matters.

Payout denial rate. Search the firm's name plus "payout denied" on Reddit, Trustpilot, and trading forums. A pattern of denied payouts is a red flag regardless of the total number on the leaderboard.

Profit split structure. A firm paying 80% on $100,000 of profit gives you $80,000. A firm paying 100% on $25,000 and 90% after that gives you $92,500 on the same amount. The split structure changes your actual take-home more than the firm's total payout figure.

Years in operation. Longevity is a form of proof. A firm that has been paying traders for 5+ years has survived market downturns, regulatory scrutiny, and competitive pressure. That track record is worth something.
