Each payout cycle is capped at 2% of your starting balance, above a 3% minimum withdrawal buffer that stays in the account. [← All questions](https://getfundednow.com/faq) ## The full answer Yes. Instant Funding withdrawals are capped at 2% of your starting balance per payout cycle, above a 3% minimum withdrawal buffer. When you request a withdrawal, all profit above the 3% buffer leaves the account. You receive up to the 2% cap; anything above it is deducted but not paid out. For example, on a $100,000 account showing $6,000 profit, $3,000 is deducted, the account resets to $103,000 against a $98,000 drawdown floor, and $2,000 is withdrawable. 1 Step and 2 Step accounts have no withdrawal cap.
