Kazakhstan athletics prize money
Kazakhstan has taken $206,500 out of athletics, 55th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Norah Jeruto is the biggest earner on $125,250, 60.7% of the national total.
All of it belongs to six athletes by name. Kazakhstan 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 Kazakhstan

| Cross Country | 1 | — | $3,000 | — | $3,000 |
| All six | 6 | 8 | $206,500 | — | $206,500 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Kazakhstan on $196,500, 95.2% of the national total. Three of the six have paid Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has won nothing at the World Indoor Championships, the Ultimate Championship and the World Relays.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 6: 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. Norah Jeruto has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Championships.
