Cincinnati Open prize money
Cincinnati puts up $16,848,801 across the two tours and does not divide it evenly: $9,415,725 for the men and $7,433,076 for the women, played on the same courts in the same fortnight. The men's champion took $1,151,380 and the women's $1,085,220.
A player is paid once, for the round they went out in. The figure is the whole of it rather than a step on the way to it, so somebody who lost in the last eight took $193,645 and not that plus every round beneath it. Add the eight figures up as a ladder and the champion alone would be on $2,525,585, against the $1,151,380 the ATP and the WTA actually pays.

What each round took between them
The figure above multiplied by the players in the round, across the draw
Second round is the biggest line in the tournament at $1,155,520, and it is 32 players on $36,110 each rather than one on $1,151,380. That is the shape a rate card hides: the further down the draw a round sits, the more people it pays and the more it costs.
