The Premier League has never been more competitive, with positions at both the top and bottom of the playing field changing regularly.
On May 19, the final day of the Premier League, whether a team finishes first or twentieth will go home with a staggering amount of money, but how much they pocket will depend on their position in the league .
Depending on a team’s finish, a Premier League side could walk away with more than £150 million.
Last year’s champions and current top chasers Manchester City received a record fee of £176.2 million for lifting the trophy last season.
Here’s how much each Premier League club will earn after the final day of the season and what the total compensation will consist of, including a team league finish and TV rights deals.
Premier League holders Manchester City earned a whopping £176.2 million in prize money last year
Premier League clubs earn prize money based on their league results and the number of times their matches are broadcast on TV
How Premier League prize money is earned
All twenty Premier League teams will receive total prize money based on a fixed payment of equal shares, a merit payment based on their final ranking at the end of the year, a fixed payment from commercial income and a variable payment for facilities fees.
Before the end of the season, each club will walk away with a whopping £91.7 million, regardless of where they finish in the league.
This is thanks to a fixed, equal share given to clubs based on both UK and international revenues.
How much a team earns from that moment on depends on its ranking and facility costs.
How much is each Premier League spot worth?
Premier League earnings payouts are distributed on a sliding scale, with the prize amount decreasing as you go from first all the way to 20th.
Each year, clubs earn a fixed amount from the Premier League’s domestic and international broadcast deals and have the opportunity to earn more based on their ranking.
Based on last season’s prize money, each position is worth approximately £3.1 million.
Southampton, who finished bottom of the Premier League in the 2022-23 season, were paid £3.1 million for their last-place finish, while treble winners Manchester City were paid a fee worth 20 times that figure of £62.3 million.
Each team also receives a merit payment, which is £3.1 million per position

What are facility fees?
The other difference in the amount one club earns in prize money compared to another is the amount they earn in facility fees.
Facility fees are based on the number of times each team is shown on TV during the season.
Last year, Manchester City earned the most in facility fees, earning £25.3 from their matches, which were broadcast live on British sports channels.
Last year’s facility fees ranged from £25.3 million to £10.2 million. Unlike club earnings, where you finish in the league does not affect the amount you earn.
Everton, who finished 17th last season, earned £19.4 million in facility fees, the eighth highest figure in the league.
