As one of the biggest spots on the calendar, the Madrid Open pays significantly well to the players. Apart from the 1000 points at stake, the tournament had announced a total prize pool of €8,235,540 for the 2026 edition. The singles champion will be taking a massive chunk out of this.
What is the total prize money for the Madrid Open 2026 winner?
Sinner will take home €1,007,165 ($1,188,197) for winning the Madrid Open. The prize money has seen a slight 2.25% increase from last year, when the winners earned an amount of €985,030. On the other hand, the total prize pool for the tournament last year was €8,055,385.
However, this will not be the exact amount that Sinner will receive, as he is required to pay federal taxes on income earned in Spain. He will be facing a tax deduction of approximately 19% to 24%. This can see him take a cut of up to €241,719 to the Spanish authorities.
Luckily for Sinner, he will not have to pay anything to the government of the country he is residing in. This is because he lives in Monaco, where every citizen is exempt from paying taxes.
What Is Jannik Sinner’s Net Prize Money After Taxes?
After the tax deductions, Sinner will be left with an amount of approximately €765,446 as the prize money. This is still more than the gross amount Alexander Zverev will be earning for being the runner-up of the Madrid Open. The German will be provided with a cash prize of €523,870. However, unlike Sinner, he will be required to pay taxes to both the Spanish and German authorities.
Despite having a solid campaign at the Spanish capital, Zverev proved to be no match for Sinner in the final. The Italian held on to his serve throughout the match and clinched all four break points that he got. This was his ninth consecutive victory over Zverev, and it sees him take a formidable 10-4 lead in the H2H record.
