Tool
What does a futures prop firm actually cost?
Not the headline price — the full invoice through to your first payout: evaluation, activation, resets, data feed. Every figure dated and sourced.
Figures read at source on August 16, 2026. Every line carries its verification date and a link to the firm's own page. A real fee whose amount the firm does not publish shows as "not published", and the total becomes a minimum ("≥").

The total adds up every fee the firm publishes, multiplied by the scenario you set above. No scores, no opinion ranking: an invoice, checkable line by line. A "≥" means a fee exists but its amount is not published — so the real total is higher.
What this total covers, item by item
The calculator adds up 6 distinct items, read plan by plan across the thirteen firms. Here is what each covers, how many firms declare it, and the range actually recorded — not an industry average.
| Item | Firms declaring it | Recorded range | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | 13 of 13 | $49 – $2,490 | once |
| Reset | 13 of 13 | $40 – $599 | on every failure |
| Activation | 13 of 13 | $0 – $149 | once |
| Data feed | 5 of 13 3 of them give a figure | $41 – $126 | every month |
| Monthly subscription | 1 of 13 | $100 | every month |
| Withdrawal fee | 1 of 13 | $50 | on every withdrawal |
The fees that recur every month are the least published. The one-off items — evaluation, activation, reset — carry a figure at all thirteen firms. The data feed is declared by only 5 of them and quantified by 3. That is not a gap in this site: it is what the firms publish. A real item whose amount is missing turns the total into a minimum, marked “≥”, rather than dropping out of the calculation.
What the total leaves out. The profit split is not a fee: you do not pay it, it reduces what you keep, and it sits on each firm's guide. Tax is not in there either, nor the brokerage costs of your own platform. The total stops at the first payout, because that is the only horizon on which fees are comparable.
