2 further 2026 tournaments are on Elise Mertens’s record with no published prize sheet, so they are absent here rather than counted as nothing.

The career total is the WTA’s own published figure, quoted as it stands — it counts doubles and every tier, including the ones Setlex does not track, and moves when the tour updates it. The 2026 figure is this site’s arithmetic instead: each tournament’s published per-round singles prize, read at the round Elise Mertens reached. A cheque written in another currency is converted at the European Central Bank’s reference rate for the tournament’s day, recorded when the tournament was priced and never recomputed; the amount as paid is beside it. Nothing here is an average of what a tier usually pays.
