Wimbledon prize money
Wimbledon put £64,200,000 on the table in 2026. The singles champions took £3,600,000 each, and a player beaten in the first round left with £80,000 - more, between the 128 of them, than the two champions collected together.
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 £480,000 and not that plus every round beneath it. Add the eight figures up as a ladder and the champion alone would be on £7,471,000, against the £3,600,000 the All England Club actually pays.
What each round paid

| The singles | 256 | — | £47,264,000£47.3m |
Each figure is what one player took. Both draws pay the same, so every line is paid twice over.
What each round took between them
The figure above multiplied by the players in the round, across both singles draws
First round is the biggest line in the tournament at £10,240,000, and it is 128 players on £80,000 each rather than two on £3,600,000 each. 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.
