The Voice Secrets Revealed: Prize Money, Song Choice, Chairs & More

The winner of The Voice is promised a recording contract with Universal Music Group, the monetary value of which is technically unknown.

But while NBC and series producers have never confirmed any amount, the last singer standing at the end of the competition reportedly gets $100,000.

Past winners have acknowledged getting paid, season 18 champ Todd Tilghman telling People in 2020, "I don't have any immediate plans to make any drastic changes tomorrow. I don't know for sure the direction my life will go in. There's a possibility that that money might pay the bills for a little while."

But, he added, since his wife had promised their kids a trip to Disney World, he guessed he'd be splurging on that too.

Not that the value of the music opportunities that open up for the winners should be discounted.

“I’ve got a catalog of songs. I have a lot of writer friends I want to collaborate with," season 27 winner Adam David of Team Bublé told Parade in May 2025. "The plan is to put out some music and go on to work. We’re going to put out some music, and we’re going to hit the road."
