Payouts and money

# Virtual profit share

The compliant name for a prop firm's profit split: the share of virtual profits generated on a simulated funded account that is paid to the trader. The profits are simulated; the payout is real money.

GFN’s figure

GFN's virtual profit share is up to 90%: 80% as standard on the 1 Step and 2 Step, 90% with the checkout add-on, and 70% on Instant.

- **Standard**: 80% on the 1 Step and 2 Step
- **With the add-on**: 90%
- **Instant Instant**: 70%

Subject to programme rules, remaining risk limits, KYC checks and the Terms & Conditions.

In detail

## Virtual profit share, explained

The wording is not decoration. A simulated-funding firm divides the results of simulated trading, not the proceeds of trades executed in a market on a customer's behalf, and the vocabulary keeps that distinction visible.

What a trader receives is a payout against qualifying simulated performance, subject to the programme rules, the applicable share, identity checks and the terms attached to the account.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Profit split](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/profit-split) - The share of eligible gains paid to the trader, with the remainder kept by the firm. At a simulated-funding firm the gains being divided are virtual profits generated on a simulated account.
- [Profit share add-on](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/profit-share-add-on) - An optional purchase at checkout that raises the trader's share of virtual profits above the standard rate. It is paid up front, so it only pays for itself if the account reaches a payout.
- [Simulated account](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/simulated-account) - An account that reproduces live market conditions - prices, spreads, commission, slippage - without routing orders to a market. Every GFN evaluation and funded account is one, and no customer capital is ever exposed.
- [Payout](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/payout) - A transfer of the trader's share of eligible virtual profits from a simulated funded account. Payouts are requested on an eligibility date, processed after checks, and paid to the verified account holder.
- [Simulated funding](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/simulated-funding) - The model where a firm assesses and pays traders on simulated accounts rather than routing their orders to a market. Trading is simulated; payouts against qualifying performance are real money.
