Prize money per round
Paris Masters prize money breakdown, round by round
In shortThe 2025 Paris Masters paid €6,128,940 in total. The singles champion took €946,610 and 1,000 ranking points; a first-round loser still went home with €24,500.
Paris Masters prize money is paid in euros and per player, for the furthest round reached. Win the title and you collect the champion's amount; lose in the quarterfinals and you collect the quarterfinal amount, not the sum of every round before it. The ladder below is the official singles table for the 2025 edition, the latest one with a published breakdown, with the ranking points that go with each round.

Look at the gaps. The runner-up earns a little over half of the champion's cheque, and every round below roughly halves again. That steep top is deliberate, since the tours concentrate money where the television audience is. It is also why a single good week in Paris can change a season's earnings for a player ranked outside the top 30, who might earn the quarterfinal figure, €154,170, in five days.
The points column follows the Masters 1000 scale. A finalist earns 600 points, a semifinalist 400, and a first-round loser 10. Because Paris comes so late in the year, those points often decide the last places for the ATP Finals in Turin, which is where the bigger money sits.

The purse in context
Compared with the 35 event rows in the prize-money ledger, by total purse in US dollars.

Each row of the ledger is one tour's edition, so a combined event appears once per tour. See the full ledger.
Three editions do not make a long series, but the trend is clear. The total rose about 3 percent a year. The champion's cheque moved faster than the total between 2023 and 2024, up almost 10 percent from €836,355 to €919,075; from 2024 to 2025 it grew at the same rate as the purse. In 2025 Paris paid exactly the same total as Monte-Carlo, €6,128,940, a sign of how closely the ATP ties these events together.
Currency affects any comparison between Paris and the North American events. Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati and the Canadian event pay in US dollars, so a strong euro flatters Paris and a weak one shrinks it. Our tennis prize money ledger keeps every event in the currency it actually pays.
How the money is split
Where the Paris Masters purse goes
In shortMost of the total goes to the singles draw, a smaller share to doubles and qualifying. The singles champion's cheque alone is about 15 percent of the whole purse.
The headline total, €6,128,940, is not all singles money. It also pays the doubles draw, which was widened to 28 teams when the event moved to its new arena, and the qualifying rounds that decide the last places in the main draw. The singles champion's €946,610 works out at around 15 percent of the whole purse on its own, which tells you how top-heavy the structure is.
None of this is take-home pay. Players pay their own coaches, physios and travel for most of the year, and tax is due on top. A first-round loser's €24,500 can disappear quickly once a coach's weekly fee and flights to the next event are paid. For a top-ten player, by contrast, the Paris cheque is a fraction of a year's income; the ranking points count for more, because Paris is the last chance to qualify for Turin.
Venue and dates
Paris Masters dates and the move to La Défense Arena
In shortThe 2026 main draw runs November 2 - 8, 2026. Since 2025 the tournament has been played at Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, which seats far more than the old Bercy arena.

For almost four decades the tournament meant one building, the arena at Bercy in eastern Paris. Today it is known as Accor Arena. The French federation announced the move to Paris La Défense Arena in January 2024, and the 2025 edition was the first played there. The new hall is a covered stadium built for rugby, so the tennis court sits inside a much larger bowl than the one players knew.
The ATP says the move lifted capacity to 23,000, against 16,800 at Bercy. It also changed the schedule: three day matches and two evening matches on the main court instead of four and two, and a doubles draw of 28 teams instead of 24. The 2026 edition is billed by the organizers as the tournament's 40th anniversary.
The date is fixed by the shape of the season. Paris follows the Asian swing, which runs from the Korea Open in Seoul on the women's side to the Shanghai Masters in October, and it is the last Masters 1000 of the year and leads straight into the ATP Finals, which this year run Nov 15 - 22 in Turin. Players still chasing a place in Turin arrive in Paris with a calculator; the ones already qualified sometimes arrive tired, which is one reason the event has produced surprise champions such as Tomas Berdych, ranked 50th when he won in 2005.

FAQ
Paris Masters prize money: questions and answers
In shortShort answers on the Paris Masters purse, the breakdown per round and the event itself, all taken from the tables on this page.
How much prize money does the Paris Masters winner get?
The 2025 singles champion received €946,610 and 1,000 ranking points. The runner-up took €516,925. Figures are per player, before tax, in euros.
What is the Paris Masters prize money breakdown per round?
In 2025: champion €946,610, runner-up €516,925, semifinal €282,650, quarterfinal €154,170, round of 16 €82,465, round of 32 €44,220 and first round €24,500. The ladder above shows the same numbers with ranking points.
What is the total Paris Masters prize money for 2026?
The latest published total is €6,128,940 for the 2025 edition. The ATP releases the new breakdown shortly before the tournament starts, and this page switches to it once it is out.
Do tennis players get paid for each round they win?
They are paid for the round they reach, not per win. A player who loses in the quarterfinals receives the quarterfinal amount, €154,170 in Paris in 2025; the money for earlier rounds is not added on top.
Do first-round losers get prize money at the Paris Masters?
Yes. Losing in the opening round still paid €24,500 in 2025, which covers a week of costs for most players. Qualifiers who lose in qualifying receive smaller amounts.
Do tennis players pay for their own hotels?
Over a season, mostly yes. Tournaments arrange official hotels and some support for main-draw players, with the details set by each event and the tour rules, but travel, coaches, physios and weeks between events come out of the player's own pocket, which is why prize money per round carries so much weight below the top 50.
When is the Paris Masters?
The 2026 main draw runs November 2 - 8, 2026, with qualifying from October 31. It is traditionally the last Masters 1000 of the season, right before the ATP Finals in Turin.
Where is the Paris Masters played now?
At Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, west of central Paris, since 2025. From 1986 to 2024 the tournament was held at the arena in Bercy, known today as Accor Arena.
Who won the Paris Masters last year?
Jannik Sinner won the 2025 title, beating Félix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6(4) in the final.
Who has won the Paris Masters the most?
Novak Djokovic, with seven titles. He was also the oldest champion, at 36 in 2023, while Boris Becker was the youngest, at 18 in 1986.
Is the Paris Masters a mandatory event?
Yes. It is one of the eight Masters 1000 events that ATP players with the required ranking must enter; only Monte-Carlo is exempt from the commitment.
