Wuhan Open prize money
The Wuhan Open put $3,654,963 up for 2025, a WTA 1000 played on hard courts in Wuhan from 6 to 12 October. The singles champion took $596,000 and a player beaten in the first round $16,860.
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 $83,250 and not that plus every round beneath it. Add the seven figures up as a ladder and the champion alone would be on $1,292,163, against the $596,000 the tournament actually pays.

What each round took between them
The figure above multiplied by the players in the round, across the draw
The $596,000 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 $16,860 each for $404,640. That is the opposite of a major, where the round that costs the most is the one everybody loses in.
