  • Payouts shown include bonuses for gold, silver, and bronze medals.
  • Countries whose athletes won medals but whose payout amounts could not be confirmed by the source, such as China and Norway, are not shown.
  • The figures are rounded to the nearest $1,000 (USD).
  • The amount listed for Latvia is a maximum; the government could elect to pay somewhat less.
  • Some countries also compensate coaches and athletes who fall short of winning a medal. However, these amounts are excluded in totals shown.
  • The amounts listed for Australia and New Zealand are paid yearly to fund the athlete’s training until the next Olympics.
  • According to Forbes, only Great Britain, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden decline to provide direct monetary incentives to their athletes for winning an Olympic medal (as of the 2020 Summer Olympics), although indirect funding is extensive. Russia, for instance, is known to supply its medalists with luxury cars and apartments.
