Career totals across all six competitions, not a single season. PAID is how many finishing places were paid for, which is a different count from wins: a second place in a Diamond League final and a world title are both one payment. 248 of these athletes have a page of their own here.
The biggest earners
The top twelve of 249
Dina Asher-Smith holds 6.6% of everything Great Britain has won in athletics. The three biggest hold 16% of it between them, and $25,011 is what the national total works out at per paid athlete.
Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent Great Britain

| All six | 249 | 111 | $6,227,625$6.2m | $124,000 | $6,351,625$6.4m |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Great Britain on $5,341,125, 84.1% of the national total. All six have paid Great Britain, which only five of the 130 countries can say.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 249: 17 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. Dina Asher-Smith has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Championships.
The cheques that went to the federation

None of this is in any athlete's total above, here or anywhere else on the site. A relay purse is paid to the team whole, a World Relays ladder place is a country's, and a cross country team standing pays the federation behind the first four runners home.
