US Open 2024: How much money will players win?

The US Open kicks off in New York on Monday. The fourth and final Grand Slam tournament of the year is in many ways the biggest.

Wimbledon may have more name recognition and perhaps even more prestige among some fans, but when it comes to cashing in for the most notable winners, Queens is the place to be.

The US Open has the highest individual prize money of all four Grand Slams this year. Players will compete for a share of the $75 million in prize money, up 15% from last year. Who earns what, and how does it compare to other Grand Slams? Here’s how it works out.

When is the US Open?

The US Open starts on August 26 and runs through September 8.

How much do the US Open men’s and women’s champions earn?

Both the male and female champions will take home $3.6 million this year, a 20% increase from last year. Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff are the reigning champions. The runners-up will receive $1.8 million.

However, all players who advance to higher rounds will receive bigger payouts. Reaching the first round of the Main Draw will earn $100,000 for the first time, a 23% jump from the 2023 amount. Semifinalists will walk away with $1 million, while quarterfinalists will earn $530,000.

How much do the US Open doubles champions earn?

The men’s and women’s doubles champions will receive $750,000, which will be split between the team. That’s a 7% increase from 2023.

How much do the US Open mixed doubles champions earn?

Mixed doubles champions come out on top (relatively) and receive $200,000, up 17% from what they earned a year ago.

How do the US Open prize pools compare to other Grand Slam tournaments?
