It’s time for another final of the year with the two players whose presence is almost inevitable. After meeting in three Grand Slam finals and two Masters finals, it is time for arch rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner to take on each other in an exhibition as well. And what could be better than Six Kings Slam in Riyadh. The second edition of Netflix’s ambitious tournament has reached its final day on Saturday with the World No.1 and No.2 pitted against one another. They won’t just be fighting for the crown – but for a mouth-watering prize money too.

What is the total prize money for the Six Kings Slam 2025?

What began as the contest of six top ATP stars has now been reduced to just two. As expected, Alcaraz and Sinner have outperformed the rest to confirm their final meeting. Whoever wins will ultimately pocket a handsome amount as well. Speaking of which, this year’s Six Kings Slam offers an astronomical amount of prize money to the last man standing.

The total prize pool for the Six Kings Slam this season is $13.5 million. It is similar to last year’s event. Each of the six players get to receive $1.5 million of participation fee. In addition to that, the champion is confirmed to earn an additional $4.5 million eventually. In short, the overall prize money amount for the winner is going to be $6 million.

How much will Jannik Sinner earn after taxes from the Six Kings Slam?

If the former World No.1 and four-time slam champion emerges as the winner once again, he will receive the winner’s prize money amounting to $6 million. That includes his participation fee of $1.5 million combined with the winning amount of $4.5 million for capturing the title.

While there are no clear details available regarding Saudi Arabia’s tax system for non-resident athletes, some reports suggest that an income tax of 20 percent needs to be paid to the government. Which means if he wins, Jannik Sinner may not be able to send the entire $6 million into his bank account. Due to the 20 percent tax rate in Saudi Arabia, the final amount he may get to keep could be $4.8 million after giving away $1.2 million in taxes. Now the good thing is that Sinner won’t have to additional taxes at home. While he is Italian, his permanent residence is in Monaco which is officially a tax haven for athletes.

How much will Carlos Alcaraz earn after taxes from the Six Kings Slam?

Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz last year to emerge victorious in the maiden Six Kings Slam. This time, the Spaniard will have the chance to exact his revenge on him. In case the World No.1 wins, he will receive $6 million in prize money. Similar to Sinner, the amount will include Alcaraz’s participation fee of $1.5 million and the winning amount of $4.5 million for clinching the trophy.

As is the case for Sinner, Alcaraz may have to pay 20 percent of his prize money in taxes as well. If that happens, he will get to keep only $4.8 million instead of $6 million. In short, the six-time slam champion will have to sacrifice $1.2 million from his prize money figure.

Now, when it comes to paying taxes at home, Alcaraz may have to give away even more money. In Spain, an estimated 46 percent of tax rate is applied. Which means an additional $2,208,000 will vanish from Alcaraz’s remaining prize money. Ultimately, he may only get to keep a figure of $2,592,000 instead of $4.8 million.
