Women's Dubai Tennis Championships prize money
The Women's Dubai Tennis Championships put $4,088,211 up for 2026, a WTA 1000 played on hard courts in Dubai from 15 to 21 February. The singles champion took $665,000 and a player beaten in the first round $18,300.
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 $98,500 and not that plus every round beneath it. Add the seven figures up as a ladder and the champion alone would be on $1,439,051, against the $665,000 the tournament actually pays.

What each round took between them
The figure above multiplied by the players in the round, across the draw
The $665,000 for winning it is the biggest line in the tournament, and it goes to one player. The first round is the next, 24 players on $18,300 each for $439,200. That is the opposite of a major, where the round that costs the most is the one everybody loses in.
