Women's Brisbane International prize money
The Women's Brisbane International put $1,691,602 up for 2026, a WTA 500 played on hard courts in Brisbane from 4 to 11 January. The singles champion took $214,530 and a player beaten in the first round $11,920.
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 $37,640 and not that plus every round beneath it. Add the seven figures up as a ladder and the champion alone would be on $509,449, against the $214,530 the tournament actually pays.

What each round took between them
