Career padel player earnings for Agustin Tapia — the highest earning player in our database.
Professional padel player earnings depend almost entirely on world ranking and tournament results. The highest-ranked players on the Premier Padel circuit — Top 10 pairs in both men's and women's — can accumulate €300,000 to €500,000 in prize money per year from tournament results alone. Add sponsorship deals, equipment contracts, and appearance fees, and elite players comfortably exceed seven-figure annual incomes.
The Premier Padel prize structure is organized into three tiers. Major tournaments carry a €500,000 total prize pool, split equally between the men's and women's draws. P1 events distribute €260,000, while P2 events — the entry-level Premier Padel category — offer €147,500. Crucially, Premier Padel has enforced equal prize money for men and women across all tiers since its founding, making it one of the most progressive racket sports in this regard.
Compared to tennis, padel player earnings from prize money are still modest for all but the very top players. Wimbledon alone distributes over £50 million — a figure that dwarfs the entire annual Premier Padel prize pool. However, padel is the fastest-growing racket sport in the world, with prize money rising sharply each season as the sport attracts major investment. Our database tracks every euro distributed across 49 professional tournaments so you can see exactly how padel player earnings stack up.
How much can a player earn per round at each level of the Premier Padel circuit?

| Major | €500,000 | €50,000 | €27,500 | €15,000 | €10,000 |

| P2 | €147,500 | €15,000 | €8,250 | €4,500 | €3,000 |

All-time career prize money for every man on the Premier Padel circuit
All-time career prize money for every woman on the Premier Padel circuit
The sum of every euro a player has earned in prize money across their entire professional career — spanning all tournaments, all years, and all circuit levels tracked in our database. This is the primary metric on our all-time rankings.
Earnings accumulated from January 1 of the current calendar year. A snapshot of form — rising quickly during a strong tournament run, resetting each January. Use the YTD filter in the rankings to find players on the hottest 2026 streak.
Earnings within a single Premier Padel season (which may not align exactly with the calendar year). Season totals help compare a player's relative performance across different years as the prize pool has grown.
Context matters enormously when reading padel player earnings data. A career total of €200,000 tells a very different story depending on whether it was earned over two seasons or ten. Similarly, a top-20 ranking today reflects a far more competitive — and better-paid — circuit than the same ranking in 2022 when Premier Padel launched.
Compared to tennis, the gap remains significant. The top padel player earns roughly what a top-150 ATP professional earns in a single Grand Slam. But the trajectory is clear: padel prize money has more than doubled since 2022, with new investors, broadcast deals, and a rapidly expanding global fanbase pushing totals higher every season. Players who establish themselves now are building career earnings that future generations will benchmark against.
