Slovenia has taken $522,625 out of athletics, 31st of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Kristjan Čeh is the biggest earner on $266,500, 51% of the national total.

All of it belongs to nine athletes by name. Slovenia 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.
