The Math

How Your Scaling Plan Compounds

Each scaling step lifts your account by the same percentage, and the next step builds on the larger balance. That compounding is why the gains accelerate: a fixed scale-up rate applied step after step multiplies your starting size by one plus the rate, raised to the number of steps you clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a prop firm scaling plan?

It is a firm's program for increasing your funded balance as you trade consistently. Hit the firm's profit targets and stay inside the rules over a set period, and your account size steps up — giving you more buying power without putting up more of your own capital.

How fast can I scale up?

That depends entirely on the firm. Most require a minimum profit target plus a number of profitable months or a consistency check before each bump, so scaling is paced by your real results, not a timer. Pushing harder to scale faster usually means taking more risk, which raises the odds of breaching a drawdown rule.

Do all firms offer scaling?

No. Scaling plans are common but not universal, and the rates and conditions vary widely — some scale by a fixed percentage, others to set tiers, and a few cap the maximum size. Always read your firm's scaling terms and plug their real numbers into this tool rather than assuming a standard plan.

Is reaching the top tier guaranteed?

No. This calculator shows the path if every step is cleared, but each step still requires hitting targets while respecting the firm's drawdown limits — and a single breach can end the account. Treat the projection as a best-case map of potential, not an expected outcome.
