Fees & Payouts

Topstep fees and payout dossier

This section is deliberately conservative. Fee, reset, refund, payout, and KYC claims can change at checkout, so the live firm page remains the final source before paying.

Fee watch

Evaluation / challenge fee Live checkout terms can change. Check exact account size and add-ons before paying.

Standard Path; activation fee is separate after passing Price watch

Reset or subscription cost Reset fees, activation fees, data fees, and monthly subscriptions should be checked on the official checkout page.

Monthly / reset terms Check checkout

Refund policy Refund terms can depend on passing, payout, account status, KYC, and payment method.

Refund terms Check checkout

Platform and data fees A cheap challenge can become expensive if data, platform, commissions, or spreads are not modeled.

Payout watch

Profit split Compare headline split against payout caps, funded-stage rules, and withdrawal restrictions.

90/10 Official source

Payout timing First payout, recurring payout cadence, minimum trading days, and KYC can matter more than headline split.

XFA payout-path rules Official source

Withdrawal friction Withdrawal rules can include consistency, scaling, buffer, minimum days, and forbidden-strategy checks.

The current Trading Combine requires the 50% consistency target and can pass in as few as two trading days; MLL, optional DLL, activation, and payout caps remain the real decision layer. Risk note
