# Payouts FAQ: How and When You Get Paid

> Quick answers on PolyFundr payouts: 90% profit split, payout thresholds, request limits, USDC on Polygon, processing time, and wallet requirements.

These are the short answers. For the full policy and examples, use [Funded payouts](/funded/payouts).

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is the profit split?">
    The profit split is **90% to you, 10% to PolyFundr**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="When can I request a payout?">
    When all of these are true: your **realized eligible profit** (after prior paid payouts) has reached **30% of your starting balance**, your **book is flat** (all positions closed), no other request is pending, and this payout window is **consistent** (no single day over 40% of the window's eligible profit). For example, on a \$50,000 funded account you become eligible once you have \$15,000 in realized eligible profit.

    The 30% is a gate for *requesting*, not a floor your balance can never cross. There is no minimum trading-days requirement, and open positions do not count until closed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What profit counts toward a payout?">
    Losses always count, so nothing is hidden from the calculation. Gains count when the position is closed, the entry price was between **0.10 and 0.90**, and it is not a direct same-market YES/NO hedge. Normal directional trading is fully covered. See [Funded payouts](/funded/payouts) for detail.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I request a payout?">
    Submit the request from the **Payouts** page in your dashboard. Enter a
    destination wallet address, confirm the amount, and submit.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How much can I request?">
    Each payout is the lowest of three limits: the cap ladder (1st up to
    **\$1,000**, 2nd up to **\$2,000**, 3rd and later up to **\$5,000** gross),
    **half of the eligible profit you have earned since your last payout**, and
    your eligible net after prior paid and pending payouts. A **7-day cooldown**
    applies between payouts. Profit above a cap is not lost, it stays in the
    account and remains withdrawable in future windows. Full worked examples on
    [Funded payouts](/funded/payouts).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How fast are payouts processed?">
    Payouts are processed within **24 hours on average**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What currency are payouts in?">
    Payouts are sent in **USDC on the Polygon network**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What kind of wallet address do I need?">
    You must provide a valid **EVM wallet address** that can receive **USDC on
    Polygon**. The destination is required on every request and is not saved as a
    default.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do open positions count toward my payout?">
    No. Only **realized profit from closed positions** counts toward payout
    eligibility.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to the amount I request while it is being processed?">
    Only one payout request can be pending per funded account at a time. While the
    payout is pending, the requested amount is **reserved against your available
    payout balance**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does withdrawing profits affect my drawdown limits?">
    No. Paid payouts are accounted for in the drawdown calculations.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are there any fees on payouts?">
    No. There are no payout withdrawal fees.
