Estonia athletics prize money
Estonia has taken $169,750 out of athletics, 60th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Magnus Kirt is the biggest earner on $70,000, 41.2% of the national total.
All of it belongs to four athletes by name. Estonia 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 Estonia

| All six | 4 | 1 | $169,750 | — | $169,750 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Estonia on $138,750, 81.7% of the national total. Three of the six have paid Estonia. Estonia 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 4: one athlete has been paid by more than one of the six, and is counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Johannes Erm has been paid by two of them: the World Championships and the World Indoor Championships.
