Overall leadership

Two main individual classifications are contested in the 2021–22 Tour de Ski, as well as a team competition. The most important is the overall standings, calculated by adding each skier's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses (time subtracted) are awarded at both sprint stages and at intermediate points during mass start stage 5. In the sprint stages, the winners are awarded 60 bonus seconds, while on mass start stage 5, the first ten skiers past the intermediate point receive from 15 seconds to 1 seconds. The skier with the lowest cumulative time is the overall winner of the Tour de Ski. For the third time in Tour history, the skier leading the overall standings wears a yellow bib.

The second competition is the points standings, which replaced the sprint competition from past editions. The skiers who receive the highest number of points during the Tour win the points standings. The points available for each stage finish are determined by the stage's type. The leader is identified by a red bib.
