Consistency rule calculator
Best day, divided by total profit. That is the whole rule. Load a firm's percent or type your own, then add the days.
This percent is the evaluation rule. 40%. A 50% add-on costs more and is aimed at a two-day pass. Funded: None on Flex and none on Daily.

- Under 40%
Not yet. You need $1 more profit from other days before the best day is under 40%.
The formula is best day divided by total profit. We treat the cap as strict: the best day has to be under the percent, not equal to it. Apex fails a payout check at exactly 50%. If your firm allows a day that lands on the number, you are fine when the share equals the rule.
On a $3,000 target at 40%, a single day has to stay under $1,200. Going over does not fail the account at the firms in this table. It delays the pass or hides the payout until the ratio comes down.
Questions people actually ask
How do you calculate a prop firm consistency rule?
Divide your best day's closed profit by the total closed profit for the period. If the firm says 40%, that share has to come in under 40%. At the firms in our table, going over does not fail the account. It delays the pass or blocks the payout until other days bring the ratio down.
Does a losing day help the consistency rule?
A losing day lowers total profit, which makes the best day a larger share. It does not help. Only additional profit from other days brings the ratio down.
Can I use this in Excel?
Yes. Download the CSV of the days you entered and open it in Excel. The formula in the sheet is the same division: best day divided by the sum.
