Croatia athletics prize money
Croatia has taken $285,500 out of athletics, 47th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Sandra Perković is the biggest earner on $158,000, 55.3% of the national total.
All of it belongs to eight athletes by name. Croatia has never been paid a relay purse, a World Relays ladder place or a cross country team standing, which are the three things that pay a federation rather than a person.

Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent Croatia

| World Relays | — | — | — | — | — |
| Cross Country | — | — | — | — | — |
| All six | 8 | 7 | $285,500 | — | $285,500 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Croatia on $268,500, 94% of the national total. Three of the six have paid Croatia. Croatia has won nothing at the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 8: two athletes have been paid by more than one of the six, and are counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Sandra Elkasević has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Championships.
