Women's Adelaide International prize money
The Women's Adelaide International put $1,206,446 up for 2026, a WTA 500 played on hard courts in Adelaide from 12 to 17 January. The singles champion took $185,500 and a player beaten in the first round $11,250.
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 $33,470 and not that plus every round beneath it. Add the six figures up as a ladder and the champion alone would be on $427,955, against the $185,500 the tournament actually pays.

The $185,500 for winning it is the biggest line in the tournament, and it goes to one player. The first round is the next, 14 players on $11,250 each for $157,500. That is the opposite of a major, where the round that costs the most is the one everybody loses in.
