How Much Do Men's Padel Players Earn?
Men's padel prize money varies dramatically by ranking and tournament performance. Elite top-10 players on the Premier Padel circuit can accumulate €200,000 to €500,000 per year from tournament prize money alone, while players ranked 11-50 typically earn between €50,000 and €200,000. Below the top 50, most professionals earn €10,000 to €50,000 annually from prize money — often not enough to cover travel and coaching expenses without sponsorship income.
Prize money in men's padel has grown rapidly since Premier Padel launched in 2022. The tour now distributes millions of euros annually across Majors, P1, and P2 events. Combined with FIP Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze tournaments, there are more opportunities than ever for male padel professionals to earn a living from competition. However, the prize money distribution remains heavily top-weighted — the top 20 players earn a disproportionate share of total prize money.
Men's Prize Money by Tournament Tier
Premier Padel offers three tiers of events for men, each with different prize pools. All amounts below are per player (prize money is awarded per pair, then split equally between partners).
FIP tournaments (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze) offer smaller prize pools from €7,000 to €150,000 total. See our complete prize money breakdown for detailed round-by-round amounts at every tier.

Understanding Men's Padel Prize Money Rankings
The men's padel earnings rankings rank professional players by their cumulative career prize money from official tournaments. Unlike the FIP world rankings which use a points-based system, our rankings provide a transparent view of how much players have actually earned on the professional circuit.
Prize money in men's padel is distributed across Premier Padel and FIP Tour events. Premier Padel Majors offer the largest purses at €525,000 per event, followed by P1 events and P2 events. FIP tournaments at Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels provide additional earning opportunities. All prize money is awarded per pair based on the round reached, then split equally between partners.
Currently, Francisco Maier leads the men's earnings rankings. The rankings are updated daily with data synced directly from official FIP and Premier Padel tournament results. Use the filters above to view year-to-date earnings or specific season breakdowns.
