Wimbledon Prize Money | 2025 Breakdown & Historicals

Wimbledon Prize Money

2025 Breakdown & Historicals

By Jon Crim
Website: Wimbledon

Wimbledon 2025 is scheduled for June 23 – July 13, and prize money is always a hot topic. This year, Wimbledon set the tournament’s prize money at £53,500,000, translating to $73,358,014 and €62,244,842. This amount marks the tournament’s largest purse, up a healthy 7.00% from last year.

For 2025, the ATP and WTA singles champions will each take home a check for £3,000,000 ($4,114,425), while the runner-ups will pocket an equally impressive £1,520,000 ($2,084,642). These sums represent 11.11% and 8.57% bumps compared to last year.

On the doubles side, the winning teams will share £680,000 ($933,017), while the runner-ups will split roughly half that amount, or £345,000 ($473,369). That’s a 4.62% bump for the winners and a 4.55% increase for the runner-ups.

For a complete breakdown of prize money at Wimbledon this year, including historical data for comparison and historical data, check out the tables in the following sections.

How Wimbledon is Funded

Wimbledon, or The All England Tennis & Croquet Club (ALTEC), is a highly prestigious and exclusive tennis club with only 500 full, life, and honorary members, so it’s fair to question how The Club funds the tournament.

According to Forbes, the tournament generates revenue from sponsorships, broadcasting rights, ticket sales, concessions, and merchandise sales. In 2017, here’s how their $289 million in revenue was roughly broken down.

How Wimbledon in 2025 is Funded Pie Graph

2017 Revenue Breakdown Amount Percent
Broadcasting $160m 55.4%
Ticket Sales $47m 16.3%
Sponsorships $47m 16.3%
Concessions & Merch $35m 12.1%
Total $289m 100%

The Championships use these funds to pay staff, maintain the Club and its impeccable grounds, and pay players’ prize money.

If there’s a surplus in funds, 90% of it goes to the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to invest in British tennis.

It’s worth noting that Wimbledon earns less than some of the other Grand Slam tournaments due to its dedication to a “clean court philosophy,” which means they don’t place advertisements throughout the grounds, unlike nearly all modern sporting events.

As a result, prize money isn’t as high as it could be. Here’s a look at last year’s prize money for all four of the tournaments.

Grand Slam Native Currency US Dollars
Australian Open $86,500,000 $55,831,425
French Open €53,478,000 $60,093,041
Wimbledon £50,000,000 $66,773,504
US Open $75,000,000 $75,000,000

For years, Wimbledon has focused on a select few partners, such as Slazenger, that appreciate the Club’s dedication to maintaining a signage-free environment that focuses on the Wimbledon brand while minimizing distractions for the players.

Prize Money Distribution

Like other tennis tournaments, Wimbledon distributes its prize money to players based on performance. The further a player progresses through the event, the more money they make.

Here’s an example of gentlemen’s and ladies’ singles for 2025.

2025 Sterling Poiund US Dollars Euros
Winner £3,000,000 $4,069,500 €3,522,987
Runner-up 1,520,000 $2,061,880 €1,784,980
Semifinal 775,000 $1,051,288 €910,105
Quarterfinal 400,000 $542,600 €469,732
Round 4 240,000 $325,560 €281,839
Round 3 152,000 $206,188 €178,498
Round 2 99,000 $134,294 €116,259
Round 1 66,000 $89,529 €77,506
Q3 41,500 $56,295 €48,735
Q2 26,000 $35,269 €30,533
Q1 15,500 $21,026 €18,202

Wimbledon also distributes prize money to varying degrees depending on the event. Here are the totals for each discipline and qualifying in 2025.

Wimbledon Prize Money Distribution in 2025 Pie Graph

Event Prize Money % of Total
Singles £38,828,000 73%
Singles Qualifiers £4,976,000 9%
Doubles £6,034,000 11%
Mixed Doubles £970,000 2%
Wheelchair Singles £434,000 1%
Wheelchair Doubles £126,000 0%
Quad Singles £434,000 1%
Quad Doubles £126,000 0%
Other Expenses €1,572,000 3%
Total £53,500,000 100%

Unsurprisingly, these amounts correlate with the general popularity of the events, which would correspond with viewer demand.

Men vs. Women

On February 22, 2007, Wimbledon’s chairman, Tim Phillips, announced that the tournament would offer equal prize money to men and women starting that year and moving forward. That year, the prize money was 700,000 for men’s and women’s singles.

Although the gap between pay had been closing between men and women for years leading up to 2007, The Championships were the last of the four Grand Slam tournaments to offer equal pay. Here’s when each major started offering equal prize money.

  • US Open: 1973
  • Australian Open: 2001
  • French Open: 2006
  • Wimbledon: 2007

Here’s a look at the prize money for five years leading up to 2007 for men’s and women’s singles.

Tournament Men’s Singles Women’s’ Singles
2002 £525,000 £486,000
2003 £575,000 £535,000
2004 £602,500 £560,500
2005 £630,000 £600,000
2006 £655,000 £625,000
2007 £700,000 £700,000

For years, Wimbledon had noted that men played best-of-five sets versus best-of-three sets for the women, and men drew bigger audiences. However, these claims were unsubstantiated, as uneven media coverage and recent audience data suggest that the women’s side is thriving despite inequality.

Full Breakdown

Wimbledon has increased its prize money nearly every year since the Open Era began in 1968. However, 2021 marked the first year of decline, as the tournament recovered from the global COVID-19 pandemic, which had forced The Championships not to run in 2020.

However, in 2022, prize money rebounded significantly, jumping 15.23% compared to 2021, leapfrogging their previous best in 2019.

In 2025, there will be another promising 11.86% increase in prize money for players. Furthermore, the tournament will continue distributing more funds to earlier rounds to improve opportunities for lower-ranked players, as it has done in recent years.

The following tables illustrate how prize money is allocated for each round of the singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events. You can scroll left to right to view the entire data set for each.

For comparison, I’ve converted US dollars to euros and sterling pounds, using the exchange rate from the prior year on the day of the final to achieve a close approximation of value.

FAQs

Wimbledon prize money is a hot topic. Aside from what we’ve covered, here are some common questions about the subject.

Is Wimbledon prize money taxed?

Yes. Players are taxed on their earnings based on the country where they receive prize money. Therefore, for Wimbledon, players are taxed at the United Kingdom’s tax rate, which ranges from 40% to 45%, depending on a player’s winnings.

However, players usually don’t have to pay taxes on the money earned at Wimbledon to their local government due to a Double Tax Treaty, which prevents double taxation.

Why did Wimbledon’s prize money go down in 2021?

Recovering from the pandemic and not hosting the tournament in 2020, Wimbledon reduced prize money by 5.2% in 2021 compared to 2019, when the event last took place.

However, the reduction only impacted the singles finalists and semi-finalists, and in some cases, there were increases. For example, qualifiers saw a 17.5% increase in prize money allocation.

Do qualifiers earn prize money?

Yes, in 2025, Wimbledon is allocating £4,976,000 in prize money to the qualifying tournament. In singles, sixty-four players compete for one of sixteen available qualifying spots.

If players lose in any qualifying round, they earn money, which increases as they progress further. For example, this year, the final or third round prize money in the qualifying tournament is £41,500.

Do junior Wimbledon players win prize money?

No. Wimbledon junior tournaments are amateur events, so participants do not earn prize money.
