Where the money went, round by round
The five champions took $154,800 between them, 39% of the pot. Everyone out in the last 16 took 15%. A Super 500 pays from the last 16. A player who goes out in the first round of the main draw is not paid.
Doubles money is paid to the pair. On every player page it is counted half to each partner, so a doubles title here is worth $15,800 to each of them.
