# What is Reset fee?

> Also called: Account reset, Restart fee

**In short.** A reset fee is what a prop firm charges to restart a failed evaluation with a fresh balance and drawdown, instead of buying a new account. It is usually lower than the evaluation price on one-time plans and close to the monthly price on subscriptions. Some firms do not offer resets and sell a new account instead.

**On today's board.** 10 of the 14 firms on the board publish the reset price of their reference account; 4 do not state it. Data checked October 15, 2026.

Resets are the hidden cost of evaluations. A trader who fails twice on a $150 monthly plan with a $100 reset has paid $350 before passing, not $150. The evaluation-cost calculator on this site adds a chosen number of resets to every account's price.

A reset keeps the plan's clock running: on a monthly plan the next renewal still comes on the same date. Check whether the reset restores the full drawdown or only the balance.
