How profit targets work
Prop firm evaluations set a profit target per phase, expressed as a percentage of the account size. A classic two-step challenge asks for 8% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2: on a $100,000 account that means growing the balance to $108,000, then (after the account resets to $100,000 for the next phase) reaching $105,000. Each phase starts fresh from the nominal account size, which is why the second target is calculated from $100,000, not from your Phase 1 finishing balance.
Thinking in dollars instead of percentages changes how the target feels. An 8% target is $8,000 of profit, and with a typical 5% daily-loss rule you cannot simply swing for it in one trade without risking a breach. This calculator shows the profit required and remaining for each phase, plus an overall progress figure weighted by each phase’s dollar target. Losses count as zero progress rather than negative, since a drawn-down account still owes the full target.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Phase 2 target based on my Phase 1 profits?
No. Each phase resets to the nominal account size, so a 5% Phase 2 target on a $100K account is always $5,000, regardless of how far past the Phase 1 target you finished.
Do funded accounts have profit targets?
Usually not: once funded, you trade for payouts rather than targets, though some firms set a small buffer you must build before your first withdrawal. You can model a funded account here by adding a phase with a 0% target.
What does the overall progress percentage mean?
It weights every phase by its dollar target and divides the profit you’ve banked toward those targets by the combined total. Overshooting a phase caps at 100% for that phase, and losing phases count as 0%, so the figure never overstates your position.
