The Australian Open will offer a record prize pot of £55m at this year's tournament - but players are said to be "disappointed" it does not represent a greater share of the Grand Slam's total revenue.
Total prize money of A$111.5m represents a 16% increase on last year and is the largest player fund in the tournament's history.
The singles champions will receive $4.15m (£2.05m) - a 19% increase on the amount which 2025 winners Madison Keys and Jannik Sinner took home.
All singles and doubles players competing at the season-opening Grand Slam will get a minimum increase of 10%.
