The five champions took $139,320 between them, 39% of the pot. Everyone out in the last 16 took 12%. 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 $14,220 to each of them.

$8,100 of the pot was not paid out. The draws had empty places in the first round, and a player given a bye is paid for the round they reach, not for the one they skipped.
