FAQs — Break Even
How to work out the account volume a prop firm needs to cover its stack.
Divide your total monthly fixed costs (tech, staff, marketing, tools) by your average challenge price. That gives you the minimum sales volume to cover overhead before trader payouts. This calculator does that math and shows your margin at your current sales volume.
Challenge sales revenue and funded trader payouts are separate P&L lines. This calculator focuses on covering your fixed operating costs from challenge sales - the first hurdle for any new prop firm. Once funded, you also model payout liability and pass rates in your full financial plan.
Refund rates vary by firm policy and pass rates. Many operators assume 5-15% of gross challenge revenue is refunded or charged back in early months. Use the refund rate field here to stress-test net revenue against your monthly cost base.
Viability depends on challenge volume, pricing, cost discipline, and payout exposure. A model is viable when net challenge revenue consistently exceeds fixed costs with room for payouts and reinvestment. Use this tool alongside Prop Tech Pal tech cost and launch estimators for a full picture.

A prop firm tech provider is a company that supplies the software infrastructure needed to run a proprietary trading firm. This typically includes a trader-facing dashboard, an admin CRM for managing accounts, a challenge evaluation engine, risk management tools, payment gateway integrations, KYC/AML verification, and connectivity to trading platforms like MT4, MT5, cTrader, MatchTrader, DXtrade, or TradeLocker. Some providers offer all of this as a full-stack solution, while others specialise in one area like risk management or payment processing.
