The Premier League is now officially over and all 20 clubs are set to receive their annual prize money payout. Last season, clubs were paid a share of £2.84billion from the league and received a total of six payments from their 'central revenue system'.
The league says this "ensures the most equitable distribution of funds of any major European league" and each club is sent to bank more than £100m as a result. Liverpool will earn the most after winning the league in Arne Slot's first season in charge.
Last season's winners Manchester City banked a total of £175.9m and runners-up Arsenal earned £175.5m. Some payments are fixed, with all 20 clubs receiving an equal share of domestic and international broadcast rights which totalled £86.9m last season.
Each club was also paid £8.2m from the league's central commercial revenue streams. Clubs then receive merit payments based on their league finish and facility fees based on how often one of their games was televised during the season.
Last season, City received a total of £56.4m for winning the league. Arsenal, though, were the most televised club and banked an additional £26.9m.

Sheffield United earned a basic merit payment of £2.8m for finishing bottom of the league last season, with the money distributed on a sliding scale. The champions received 20 times the basic payment, the runners-up received 19 times the basic payment and so on.
Those figures will roughly be the same for this season, but the total amount will not be confirmed until the league releases their annual report which will break down exactly how much each club received.
The Premier League is the richest league in world football, with Deloitte's latest annual review of football finance revealing that the 20 clubs generated more than £6bn in revenue for the first time in the 2022-23 campaign.
