Roger Federer Prize Money – Check His Career Earnings to Date
How much prize money has Roger Federer won in his long and illustrious career?
With Swiss neutrality, and a mantra of ‘it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice‘ it's easy to see why Roger Federer is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world thanks to a raft of multi-million dollar endorsement deals from brands like Rolex, Jura and more recently Uniqlo.
However, alongside his hugely marketable image, the Swiss has earnt more than his fair his share of his net worth through performances on the tennis court.
In fact, he's the second-highest ever prize money winner in tennis history behind Novak Djokovic. But where did he earn it all and which tournaments have been rather fruitful to his wallet over the years? Let's take a look.
What is the Total Amount of Prize Money Federer Has Won in His Career?
As of December 2019, Roger Federer has won a total of $129,231,891 in prize money since he turned pro in 1998. That puts him second on the all-time list of prize money winner behind Novak Djokovic who's taken advantage of having some of his best years on your at a time when prize money was reaching record highs to rack up $139,144,944 in on-court earnings.
How Much Prize Money has Roger Won Season By Season
Federer turned professional in 1998 and while it was relatively slow going for the Swiss in his first few seasons, it wasn't too long before the cash (and a milking cow named Juliette) started to roll in.
Those early bumper paydays helped build a solid financial platform for later life and also set the wheels in motion for the Roger Federer Foundation which has gone on to spend millions of dollars in charitable projects across Africa and closer to home in Switzerland.
You can see how much Federer has earned season by season in the table below.

1998 | $26,370 | $935 | $27,305 |
1997 | $650 | $0 | $650 |
This data comes from the ATP and there is a discrepancy. If you total up the amounts individually, they total $117,106,113. So where the $129,231,891 comes from I have no idea. If anyone has any ideas on where the extra $12 million gets added from, let me know 🙂
Stats from the Data
As a self-employed individual, should Roger want to take out a mortgage on a nice four bedroom semi-detached in Basel, he'd need to show the bank consistent earnings over the years. Fortunately, he's not done too badly and since winning a nominal $650 in 1997 before turning pro, his average yearly earnings have been $5,091,570 in both singles and doubles combined.
Federer's best-ever year on tour in prize money, and also in terms of performances for many fans, was 2017 where he racked up $11,754,077 thanks to winning the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the Sunshine Double which contributed heavily to that total figure.
While his worst years in prize money were his starting years, since he won Wimbledon in 2003, the two lowest prize money years were ones that were curtailed by injuries.
2016 is the lowest total at $1,527,269 after Federer missed three-quarters of the season due to a torn meniscus. The other low is 2013, where a back injury saw Roger bow out of several tournaments in the opening rounds, leading to just $2,798,637 in prize money, his lowest since 2002.
Singles have of course contributed the bulk of prize money over the years but doubles have also chipped in with a total of $769,035 in prize money. $157,930 coming in 2002 which was Federer's best year on the doubles circuit.
In recent years he's made zero appearances in doubles, but had he chosen to, he'd have been able to take advantage of a tour that's seen significant prize money jumps as it continues to ride on the coattails of the singles game and reward mediocrity with hefty prize money sums 😆
Which Tournaments Have Handed Federer The Most Prize Money?
Thanks to my self maintained prize money data, we can also take a look at which tournaments have paid Federer the most money over the years.
The numbers here are given in the USD. However, most tournaments will pay in their local currency. For example, Wimbledon pays in Pound sterling, whereas Madrid pays in Euros. The ATP convert this into dollars for their overall records but I am unsure if this is done at the mid-market exchange rate when the tournament ends, or as a set multiplier (which is how the WTA operate with €1 classed as $1.24).

There are no surprises here with Wimbledon topping the table with $18,719,106 paid over Federer's career so far which represents 14.5% of his overall prize money total. It's also no real surprise to see all four Grand Slams occupy a spot in the top five, those are the highest paying tournaments and Federer's record at making the second week has been ultra consistent.

Federer's first pay cheque back in 1997 on the pro tour, to his most recent one at the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals shows a 99130.77% increase 😆
His first six-figure pay cheque came in 2002 at the Miami Masters tournament where he received $240,000, a huge jump from his previous earnings which had rarely topped $50k.
Did any of the numbers surprise you? Let me know in the comments.
All data correct as of 3/2/2020.
Wow, next life it’s tennis for me😂
Go Roger

Amazing article, you’re one of the few guys in tennis who brings something meaningful to the table.
It would be nice if someone finds a way to convert all the prizes from the past to the current amount, just to see how much he would have raised if the prizes were like today.
Well, my english is getting worse.
You can look a the amount and add on the rate of inflation.
So his Wimbledon win was $956,802 in 2003. That sum today at UK inflation rates is around $1,486,000.
When I see a movie reach the “most box office $$$”, I think no, no, no. You can’t compare ticket prices through the years. It should be based on the number of ticket sales. When “Gone with the Wind” came out how much was it to see a movie, 10 cents?
The same is true for prize money through the years. Rod Laver made how much? Where does his income come from now? Does he get appearance fees?
If we look at Fed through the last 20 yrs, the amount for being a finalist or the winner is (in my opinion) way too much. It seems like the slams are always competing to be the GS with the biggest payout to the winner. I’d rather see more money disbursed to the lower ranked players, challengers, etc.
Jonathan, do you think the difference in prize money is because of money paid from Davis Cup?
He will still be earning from tennis stuff and I assume he will have done reasonably from compound interest if he tucked a good chunk away when he started earning when it turned pro.
It could be Davis Cup, the ATP show money as $0 for his DC ties, but I dunno how payment works for it? How many Davis Cup ties has he played? 20 odd?
Wow, what a colossal work you’ve done! Hat off to you, Jonathan.
As for the difference of the sum of the total, I wonder… if he’s given things such as car or watch as a prize even Juliette the cow, the value of the goods or the cow might been added? Or the extra bonus being end of the year No.1 or USO series champion etc.? I remember Fed’s biven a car at Masters Cup in Houston?
Thanks for the number crunching Jonathan! I often wonder what the net earnings are (forgive the pun). As everyone is well aware, the costs required to be a professional on tour are an ongoing ATP discussion point. While players have different expectations and standards of living etc., Roger travels with a large team and usually with his large family. I can only imagine the huge costs attached 💰💰💰
It would be hard to work out really, his expenses will be relatively high – two coaches, a physio etc. and combine that with taxes etc. The UK, for example, tax your endorsement earnings during a tournament.
Looks like Roger’s trip to South America is on ESPN tonight 8pm ET. Maybe it can be streamed later?
Try this, Sue 😀

Oh, is Dorocy, the oldest Fedfan, the one who we know?
Thanks to Brian!

Thank you sooooo much! Can’t wait to watch.
Oooooo Roger, most stylish of the decade. Beat out our own Jonathan.
That table above looks s lot like my monthly wage sheet, except for the canteen lunches’ deduction.
For you …
Another interview … (in French).

And a new year with a few more golden lines in Jonathan’s loooonnng table.
