Roland-Garros prize money 2026: what every round pays

Roland-Garros 2026 paid €61.723 million in prize money, and the women's and men's singles champions each received €2,800,000. The French Tennis Federation presented the figures on 16 April 2026: the total is 9.53 per cent higher than in 2025, and the main-draw singles money is up 10.1 per cent. Every figure on this page is in euros, per player, and identical for women and men.

How much does the Roland-Garros champion earn?

€2.8 million. The runner-up takes €1.4 million, a first-round loser in the main draw €87,000, and a first-round loser in qualifying €24,000. The table follows the prize money pages of the FFT's official 2026 press kit. The federation publishes the changes as ranges rather than per round, so the percentages below were calculated by FifthSet from the 2025 breakdown published by the ATP.

Those figures match what the federation said in April: the first three rounds of the main draw rose between 11.11 and 11.54 per cent, the other rounds between 6.82 and 9.80 per cent, and the qualifying pool 12.9 per cent. The FFT says it wants to support the players who most need the income to finance their season and their team. The total also includes the Trophée des Légendes and the per diem, the daily accommodation allowance paid to players.

Doubles, mixed and wheelchair

Doubles is paid per team. The men's and women's doubles champions receive €600,000, the runners-up €300,000, semi-finalists €150,000, quarter-finalists €82,000, the third round (the round of 16 in a 64-team draw) €45,000, the second round €29,000 and a first-round exit €19,000. The champions' cheque is up from €590,000 in 2025, an increase of 1.7 per cent; the federation puts the rise across all three doubles events at 3.9 per cent. Mixed doubles pays €122,000 per team to the winners and €5,000 for a first-round loss. Wheelchair and quad singles champions earn €68,000, wheelchair doubles champions €22,000 per team and quad doubles champions €25,000; the wheelchair and quad envelope totals €1,018,500, up 14.55 per cent.

Prize money and ranking points

Money and points follow different curves. A Grand Slam title is worth 2,000 ATP ranking points, the maximum for any tournament, according to the ATP's points breakdown: 1,300 for the finalist, 800 for a semi-final, 400 for a quarter-final, 200 for the fourth round, 100 for the third, 50 for the second and 10 for a first-round loss. A qualifier who comes through the three qualifying rounds collects 30 points before the main draw begins. In money terms, a first-round loser earns 3.1 per cent of the champion's cheque; in points, 0.5 per cent. An undefeated champion at the ATP Finals earns 1,500 points, a Masters 1000 winner 1,000.

What the champion keeps

The cheque is gross. Under article 182 B of the French tax code, sums paid for sporting performances provided or used in France to people without a permanent professional base in the country are subject to a withholding tax at source, and the official tax bulletin sets the rate for such sportspeople at 15 per cent, according to the BOFiP commentary in force since July 2024. The withholding is not the final word: it is credited against the income tax due on the player's French-source income, which for non-residents is computed with a minimum rate under article 197 A, and the bulletin says a further assessment follows only where the withholding falls short of that tax. Tax treaties can override these rules. Coaching, travel and accommodation come out of the same gross figure, and no official source publishes what a typical player nets, so this page does not estimate it.

The other majors

Roland-Garros has the smallest of the four Grand Slam prize funds in its own currency, though the gap has been narrowing with increases every year. The US Open pays $108 million with $5.5 million to each singles champion, Wimbledon £64.2 million with £3.6 million, and the Australian Open A$111.5 million with A$4.15 million. The currencies differ, and this page does not convert them.
