Aston Villa have just completed their most successful season in decades with 20 wins eclipsing the previous record for a 38-game Premier League campaign. Unai Emery did a spectacular job of guiding a team ravaged by injuries to fourth place, securing Champions League football for next term ahead of Tottenham Hotspur.

Not only was the season particularly exciting and memorable, but finishing higher in the league standings means a larger prize money payout. Last term, the Villans walked away with PS148.3 million, including the prize pot and payments for television rights. But how much could the total be this time around?

Figures in the Premier League's annual report unveil every club will earn at least PS91.7 million through the 'equal share' from the UK and international broadcast deals. In addition to that, teams will receive a 'merit payment' dependent on their final league position and 'facility fees' for additional UK TV showings.

Last season, every position higher in the table increased the merit payment by around PS3.1 million due to lucrative international deals. These figures have likely increased this year, but to gauge a bare minimum we'll stick by last term's numbers.

The facility fees then varied up and down the division, with Manchester City earning the most with PS25.3 million and AFC Bournemouth the least with PS10.2 million. To keep things fair while the final TV appearance numbers are ironed out, we'll consider last season's mean figure of PS17.8 million.

Taking into account all these mouthwatering figures, here's an estimate of how much total prize money all 20 clubs will earn now the 2023/24 season has reached its conclusion.
