Six Nations 2018 prize money
How much will each team win during the 2018 Six Nations?
England head into the competition aiming to become the first side in 135 years to win the title outright on three consecutive occasions.
Even if Eddie Jones’ men fail to achieve this feat, they are still in line to earn more than their rivals before they have even touched the ball.
Based on 2017 figures, the £100million prize pot will be split into appearance and performance payments – with 75 per cent being shared equally between the six teams.
Now this is where it gets complicated…
The following 10 per cent is allocated according to the size of each side’s respective unions, with England receiving £4m, France £3.5m and everyone else a measly £600,000.

The remaining 15 per cent of the prize fund is distributed depending on where each nation finishes in the final standings, with a Grand Slam win worth a cool £5.5m.
If no team manages to go throughout the tournament undefeated, the winner’s fund is decreased by £1m and every other team earns an extra £200,000.
