Romania athletics prize money
Romania has taken $25,500 out of athletics, 92nd of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Alina Rotaru-Kottmann is the biggest earner on $6,750, 26.5% of the national total.
All of it belongs to ten athletes by name. Romania 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.

All six competitions, and what each has sent Romania

| All six | 10 | 0 | $25,500 | — | $25,500 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Romania on $15,500, 60.8% of the national total. Two of the six have paid Romania. Romania has won nothing at the World Championships, 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 10: 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. Alina Rotaru-Kottmann has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Indoor Championships.
