The overall ranking is based on the cumulative times of all eight tour stages. In sprint competitions, the qualification time was counted. Furthermore, the bonus seconds were deducted from the end time before this was added to the total time. Bonus seconds were awarded for both sprint stages and distance stages.
For the overall ranking of the Tour de Ski four times the number of points according to the FIS point system were awarded to the best 30 athletes. These points were only counted for the overall World Cup.

Stages
In pursuit competitions with a handicap start, the pure running time was used to determine the stage result, so that the finish line was not identical to the stage result. World Cup points were awarded to the best 15 participants at each stage. These points went into both the overall World Cup ranking and the discipline rankings.
