The curtain falls on another Premier League season and more than £2.5bn in prize money and broadcast revenue is being split between the 20 clubs - with champions Manchester City banking more than £160m for achieving the first part of a potential treble and even bottom placed Southampton clearing £100m despite their dismal efforts.
While the Premier League no longer makes the exact figures public, every place in the table is worth £2.2m with the broadcast income divided almost equally with clubs shown live in the UK more often earning a slightly larger slice of the pie.
All 20 clubs receive an equal base payment from TV rights, which was worth about £84m last season and will have grown even higher this time around, with clubs then banking additional amounts depending on how often they are selected for domestic TV.
The biggest losers will have been Chelsea and Liverpool for falling out of the Champions League spots because participating in that competition can be worth up to an additional £100m the following season.
And despite the relegated teams still banking huge sums, with parachute payments still in place to help them in Championship, the accountants at Saints, Leicester and Leeds will be looking to cut their cloth accordingly.
Based on last season’s figures, extracted from information published in a number of club’s financial results, and with an extra layer factored in on account of increased TV revenues, here are the estimated totals of what each Premier League team earned in 2022-23.
1 Manchester City £170m
2 Arsenal £167.8m
3 Manchester United £165.5m
4 Newcastle United £163.4m
5 Liverpool £161.2m
6 Brighton £159m
7 Aston Villa £156.8m
8 Tottenham Hotspur £154.6m
9 Brentford £152.4m
10 Fulham £150.2m
11 Crystal Palace £148m
12 Chelsea £145.8m
13 Wolves £143.6m
14 West Ham £141.4m
15 Bournemouth £139.2m
16 Nottingham Forest £137m
17 Everton £134.8m
18 Leicester £132.6m
19 Leeds £130.4m
20 Southampton £128.2m
Should City go on to become the second English club to complete the treble, they will earn almost £270m.
Beating Manchester United in Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley would be worth an additional £4m - which appears a drop in the ocean compared to the riches on offer in the other two competitions.
Winning the Champions League final will be worth another £95m – though they have already been guaranteed about £90m for reaching the showdown with Inter Milan.
Chelsea are set to lose out on a minimum £70m for finishing in 12th and missing out on the European riches, with Liverpool counting the £50m cost of reaching the Europa League and Tottenham set to miss out on a similar amount for their disappointing campaign.
Arsenal, Man United and Newcastle, however, will be financially bolstered by moving into the top four.
