FundedNext fees & true cost
Short answer
FundedNext costs from $299 for the entry evaluation, or about $269 with the current public discount. That sticker price is not the real cost: multiply it by your realistic pass rate, then add resets, activation and any monthly funded-account fee. On the 50k account the modelled price is $603, which breaks even at roughly $635 of gross simulated profit.

What the fee buys you
The evaluation fee on FundedNext is a one-off purchase of a simulated account plus the right to be funded if you clear the targets. It is not a deposit, it is not refundable in most cases, and it does not entitle you to anything if you breach.
- Full evaluation access on MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader
- Up to 95% profit split on the funded account
- Payouts bi-weekly, on-demand after first, first eligible around day 14
- Both evaluation phases — no second purchase between phases
What it does not cover
Every line below is a real charge traders hit after purchase. These are what turn an advertised $299 into a materially larger number over a year.
- Payment-processor and currency-conversion costs on withdrawals
- Any monthly funded-account fee your specific plan carries
The break-even maths
Take the 50k account as the reference. Modelled list price is $670, or about $603 with the 10% public discount applied. At a 95% split you keep $950 of every $1,000 in simulated profit, so the offer breaks even at roughly $635 of gross profit on the funded account — before you have earned anything.
Multiply that by your realistic pass rate. If you expect to clear the evaluation one time in three, the true cost of a funded 50k account is closer to $1,809, and break-even moves to about $1,905 in gross profit. That number, not the discount percentage, is the one to compare across firms.
The offer is only good value if you can survive the drawdown mechanic. On a static drawdown, the practical buffer on a 50k account is around 10% — treat that as your maximum campaign risk, not the number you trade up to.
Price ladder across account sizes
Prop pricing scales sub-linearly with account size — roughly the square root of the size ratio — which is why the largest account is rarely the best value per dollar of buffer. The table below is our modelled ladder for FundedNext, with the 10% public discount applied to the second column.
- 10k account — list $300, discounted $270, 10% target, 10% buffer
- 25k account — list $475, discounted $428, 10% target, 10% buffer
- 50k account — list $670, discounted $603, 10% target, 10% buffer
- 100k account — list $945, discounted $851, 10% target, 10% buffer
- 200k account — list $1.3k, discounted $1.2k, 10% target, 10% buffer
Is FundedNext good value?
Value in this category is not the cheapest entry — it is the lowest expected cost per funded month you actually keep. A $299 evaluation on a firm with an intraday trailing drawdown and a strict consistency rule is usually more expensive over a year than a pricier evaluation on a static-drawdown firm, because you buy it three times instead of once.
FundedNext scores 84/100 on payout evidence and 82/100 on trust. Weigh the fee against those two numbers, not against a competitor's headline discount.
FAQ
How much does FundedNext cost?
From $299 for the entry evaluation, currently 10% off all challenges with code BEACON10. Larger accounts scale sub-linearly; see the modelled ladder above.
Does FundedNext refund the evaluation fee?
Not as standard. Treat the fee as spent the moment you buy, and price your attempt accordingly.
Are there monthly fees on a FundedNext funded account?
Depends on the plan you buy. Forex-style firms usually charge once up front, but add-ons such as higher splits or faster payouts can be priced separately.
What is the real cost after failures?
Multiply the fee by your expected attempts. At a one-in-three pass rate, a $299 evaluation is really $897 per funded account — that is the number worth comparing across firms.
