Compare cheap prop firm challenges by the cost you would pay

Capture a comparable quote

For each offer, record the exact product, account denomination, stages, market, quote date and checkout currency. A one-stage crypto assessment and a two-stage stock assessment are different purchases even when the advertised account sizes match. Keep them in different rows until you have a reason to compare them.

Record the promotion's eligibility, expiry and scope. A code shown on an old review is not evidence of a current discount. Verify the amount at checkout before paying. If a charge is mandatory but its amount is unknown, leave the comparison incomplete rather than entering zero. The calculator assumes its separate payment-fee input is charged in the same currency as the displayed quote; convert separately if that is not true.

Convert a fictional quote into CAD

Suppose a quote is 149 USD, an applicable discount reduces the base fee by 10%, and a separate payment charge is 3 USD. The subtotal is 137.10 USD. At a supplied teaching rate of 1.40 CAD for one USD, the reporting value is 191.94 CAD. The rate is an example, not a current exchange rate or a promise from a card issuer.

A second fictional quote of 149 USD, with no discount or extra charge, gives 201.15 CAD at a different supplied rate of 1.35. The worksheet compares those two reporting amounts only. It does not declare either provider better: the products, refund conditions, ongoing costs and loss rules may be different.

For an actual Canadian reporting record, retain the original currency and amount beside the CAD estimate. If a statement later shows a different CAD debit, preserve both the estimate and the actual debit. Do not replace the observed payment with a more favourable reference conversion. A site's Canadian editorial context does not establish that any particular provider accepts Canadian residents.

Keep attempts, optional extras and refunds separate

Choose a maximum cash budget before considering another paid attempt. Multiplying a known entry price by a chosen number of attempts can describe a spending scenario; it cannot predict how many attempts you will need. This worksheet therefore compares one entry per quote and makes no pass-rate assumption.

Optional protection, platform subscriptions, data charges or later activation fees belong in separate rows when they apply to the exact product. A refundable fee is still cash paid at entry. Treat the refund as contingent until the contractual conditions and the actual credit are documented. Avoid subtracting an unearned payout or assumed refund from the upfront cost.

This site's existing maker–taker fee worksheet concerns trading execution. Keep those trading charges separate from the challenge purchase and payment fees. You can join them in a later cash ledger once their dates, currencies and evidence are known.

Make the selection after the price calculation

Use the result to ask a smaller question: which quote has the lower supplied entry amount in the same reporting currency? Then review daily and overall loss rules, instruments, eligibility and the programme contract. The calculator does not rank firms, verify payment methods or establish regulatory status.

If HashHedge is one of the programmes you are considering, use its current checkout and commercial terms for the actual quote. No HashHedge price, discount code, refund entitlement or Canadian availability is assumed by the fictional comparison.
