Novak Djokovic has accrued $1,066,862 through the ATP Tour’s Pension Plan since 2011, according to figures published on the organisation’s website. The amount reflects his qualifying service on the tour, but it will not be paid to him immediately.
The ATP established the plan in 1990. Players’ annual contributions depend on several factors, including revenue from tour data such as live scoring and match statistics. Djokovic qualifies for Tier 1 contributions, which are reported to be around $120,000 a year.
Under the plan, Djokovic’s payments are expected to start when he turns 50 and continue over 20 years. The current estimate is between $20,000 and $24,000 per month.
Alexander Zverev has also built up a substantial balance, with $993,250 after 13 years on tour, according to the ATP figures.
Players need at least three Years of Service to qualify for pension payments, while five Years of Service are required for full benefits. The plan is intended to provide support to players after their careers, including those outside the top of the rankings.
