FundedNext paid $21.6M to 8,757 traders in September 2026.
A payout total shows how much was paid. It does not show how long each payout took, how large it was, or how many traders were paid more than once. This report covers all three, for every payout processed in September.
September by the Numbers
FundedNext processed 17,818 payout transactions in September. They went to 12,881 unique accounts and 8,757 unique traders.
The account count is higher than the trader count because some traders hold more than one funded account. Transactions measure the volume processed. Traders measure how many people were paid.

Processing Time
The median payout in September took 7 minutes to process, meaning half of all payouts were faster and half took longer. The mean was 10.8 hours, and the 90th percentile was 12.9 hours. 96.72% of payouts were processed within 24 hours.
The mean sits above the median because the distribution has a long right tail: a small number of slow payouts pull the average up. 585 payouts (3.3%) took longer than 24 hours. The report shows that figure next to the median so the full range is visible.

Payout Sizes
Payouts between $1K and $5K carried the month: $14.70M, or 68.0% of the amount disbursed.
| Payout size | Amount disbursed | Share |
| Under $500 | $0.88M | 4.0% |
| $500 to $1K | $3.20M | 14.8% |
| $1K to $5K | $14.70M | 68.0% |
| $5K to $10K | $1.49M | 6.9% |
| $10K to $25K | $1.12M | 5.2% |
| $25K and above | $0.23M | 1.0% |

Payout Frequency: Accounts
55.9% of September’s payouts (9,965 transactions) were first payouts from a funded account. The other 44.1% went to accounts that had been paid before. By value, first payouts came to $11.71M, or 54.2% of the month’s total, and repeat payouts made up the other 45.8%.
The 2nd-payout count (3,521) equals about 35% of the 1st-payout count (9,965). That is the steepest step on the ladder, and the 3rd and 4th payout counts step down further, to 1,756 and 1,000. The 5th-and-beyond group is open-ended, so it naturally totals more than the 4th payout alone: 1,576 transactions worth $1.81M, or 8.4% of the month’s value, from accounts well into their payout history.
Payout Frequency: Traders
This table groups the 8,757 traders paid in September by the number of payouts they have received from FundedNext over their lifetime.
Traders with 1 to 3 lifetime payouts are 53.8% of the base and contributed 26.7% of the value. Value per trader generally rises with payout history: traders with 10 or more lifetime payouts are about 18% of the base and contributed about 41% of the value.
408 traders have 25 or more lifetime payouts and contributed about 14.5% of September’s value. 69 of them have passed 60 payouts.
Account Age
70.4% of the accounts paid in September (9,037) were under 30 days old. About 7 in 10 paid accounts were less than a month old. The age groups below cover 12,829 of the 12,881 paid accounts, and the percentages are calculated on that base.

1,354 accounts, about 1 in 10, were older than 90 days. 594 of those were more than six months old and still received a payout in September.
