WASHINGTON — The players who win the Super Bowl will not only get a ring and a parade back home, they'll receive a six-figure bonus.
The NFL's collective bargaining agreement outlines exactly how much players get paid per game during the postseason and the championship.
When it comes to pay for the Super Bowl, it doesn't matter whether the Kansas City Chiefs or San Francisco 49ers are the winners, their players will still get paid tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, it's the winners who get a bigger payday.
How much do players get for winning the Super Bowl?
Players on the winning team in Super Bowl 58 will get $164,000 each. Players on the losing team will get $89,000. That's $7,000 more than last year's Super Bowl bonus.
In the first Super Bowl back in 1967, players on the winning team received $15,000 and the losing team got $7,500. Technically the winning prize has increased 993% but that doesn't account for inflation.
That $15,000 prize in 1967 would have the same buying power as nearly $140,000 today, according to a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator.

How much do Super Bowl halftime show performers get paid?
While the Super Bowl is arguably one of the biggest performances possible for artists, many people are surprised to learn the halftime show acts don't get paid by the NFL.
The league instead handles production costs and expenses for performers, but the exposure to hundreds of millions of people worldwide during one of the most-watched events of the year is considered priceless.
Halftime show performers typically see a huge uptick in music sales and streaming as well.
