The winners of next year's World Cup final will scoop 24.5 million Swiss Francs ($18.75 million) as part of a total prize pool of 300 million Swiss Francs ($229.5 million) for the tournament.
FIFA announced on Tuesday that the 32 teams taking part would be guaranteed at least six million Swiss Francs ($4.59 million) each in prize money.
The eight teams beaten in the second round will get 8.5 million Swiss Francs ($6.5 million) and the four defeated quarter-finalists will get 11.5 million Swiss Francs.
The two beaten semi-finalists will each get 21.5 million Swiss Francs ($16.45 million), with no cash incentive for winning the third-place match.
The beaten finalists on July 9 in Berlin will be almost as richly rewarded as the winners with 22.5 million Swiss Francs on offer.
