This firm's PIP rate is variable, so the new-eval cost can't be compared precisely. The reset is usually the safer choice when PIP is unknown.
We compare the firm's published reset fee against the cheapest new-evaluation account after applying the current PIP discount. PIP usually does not apply to the reset itself.
When to reset vs start fresh
If the cost difference is small (under $30) and you understand what went wrong on the busted evaluation, reset. If the new evaluation is significantly cheaper after the current PIP discount, or you want to change account size, switch firms, or change drawdown type, start fresh.
A third option is doing neither for a few days. Resetting mechanically after a failure, on the same plan, is how most traders burn through their first $500. See the reset vs new evaluation guide for the full playbook.
The calculator uses the cheapest account on each firm as the new-evaluation baseline. Your actual new-eval cost depends on the size you pick.
