From Checkout to Your First Payout
Pay 50% of the fee today
Pick 1-Step or 2-Step and an account size from $5K to $500K. You pay half the program fee at checkout — from $32.50 on a $5K 2-Step.
Pass a real evaluation
Same evaluation as Pay After Pass: a 4% target (then 3% on 2-Step Phase 2), 8% daily and 15% max loss, no minimum days and no time limit.
Get funded — nothing more to pay
Pass, complete a one-time KYC check, and your funded account is created. There's no second bill at this point: you don't pay anything else out of pocket.
The other 50% comes out of your payouts
The unpaid half is deducted from your first payout. If that payout is smaller than the balance, the rest is taken from the next payout(s) until it's covered.
What Comes Out of Your Payouts
A $25K 2-Step. The fee is $168.99. You pay $84.50 at checkout and pass both phases. In your first funded cycle you make 4% — $1,000 — so your 90% share is $900. The remaining $84.49 is deducted and you receive $815.51. Every payout after that is yours in full.
A $500K 1-Step with a small first payout. You pay $1,190.00 at checkout, leaving $1,189.99 to come from payouts. If your first payout share is $800, all $800 goes toward the balance and $389.99 carries to your second payout, which pays you the rest. You never top it up yourself.
If you don't pass. You've spent the 50% you paid at checkout and nothing else — the other half only ever comes from payouts.

Standard price before discount codes. Standard 1-Step rules differ from Pay After Pass / Pay From Profit — see the rules page.
Pick Pay From Profit if you want a lower upfront cost than Standard and don't want a second bill when you pass — the rest is paid by the account itself.
Pick Pay After Pass if you want to risk as little as possible: $9.99 to try, the same total fee, and an earlier refund — but you pay the balance yourself after passing.
Pick Standard if you're confident: it's the cheapest in total on most sizes, discount codes apply, and the fee refund comes soonest.

Pay From Profit FAQ
What is Pay From Profit?
Pay From Profit is a ForRealFunding challenge where you pay 50% of the program fee to start a real 1-Step or 2-Step evaluation, and the other 50% is deducted from your payouts once you are funded. After checkout you never pay anything else out of pocket.
How much does Pay From Profit cost?
Half the program fee at checkout: from $32.50 on a $5K 2-Step to $1,190.00 on a $500K 1-Step. A $10K 1-Step, for example, is $71.50 today, with the other $71.49 taken from your payouts. The full fee is the same as the Pay After Pass total for that size.
What if my first payout is smaller than the remaining 50%?
The whole first payout goes toward the balance, and whatever is still owed is deducted from your next payout, and the one after that if needed, until the other 50% is fully covered. You are never asked to pay it out of pocket.
What happens if I fail the evaluation?
You lose only the 50% you paid at checkout. The other 50% is only ever taken from payouts, so if you never get funded, nothing more is owed.
Is Pay From Profit cheaper than Pay After Pass?
No — the total fee is the same, but you pay more upfront. Pay After Pass starts at $9.99 and bills the rest after you pass; Pay From Profit asks for 50% today and takes the rest from profits instead of your pocket. At $10K 1-Step that's $9.99 + $133.00 after passing on Pay After Pass, versus $71.50 + $71.49 from payouts on Pay From Profit. Pick Pay After Pass to risk the least; pick Pay From Profit if you'd rather never face a bill after passing.
What are the Pay From Profit rules?
The evaluation has a 4% profit target (3% in 2-Step Phase 2), an 8% daily loss limit, a 15% static max loss, no minimum trading days, no time limit and 1:30 leverage — the same evaluation as Pay After Pass.
Do I get my fee refunded?
Yes. 120% of your challenge fee is refunded alongside your 5th payout — later than Standard (3rd payout) and Pay After Pass (4th), because half of the fee is paid from profits along the way.
Can I use a discount code on Pay From Profit?
No. Pay From Profit is already priced at 50% upfront, so promo codes such as RIP40, WELCOME60 or FORREAL30 apply to Standard challenges only.
