The overall results for the FIS Tour de Ski will be based on the overall time score in the nine FIS Tour de Ski stages. Sprint competitions count as well.

There will be a bonus system for the top 30 in the sprint races. The Sprint bonus seconds for the overall FIS Tour de Ski ranking are listed below. Bonus seconds are subtracted from the competitor's actual race time before being added into the overall time score.

1st place = 60 seconds

2nd place = 56 seconds

3rd place = 52 seconds

and so on

30th place gets 1 bonus second

There will also be bonus seconds for intermediate points in Mass start competitions during FIS Tour de Ski. Bonus seconds will be 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 seconds for the first ten athletes at a designated intermediate point. In Mass Start competitions, Pursuits (except the last competition) and the Interval start the top three of the Stage will get bonus seconds. (15, 10 and 5).

The FIS Tour de Ski Sprint Ranking will be calculated on the basis of the bonus seconds as detailed above. The winner of the FIS Tour de Ski Sprint Ranking will be the athlete (male & female) who has collected the most bonus seconds by the end of the Tour de Ski.
