Chelsea were paid \u00a3150.8m by the Premier League after winning the 2016-17 title – 50% more than the top earners in 2015-16.<\/p>\n
The 2016-17 season was the first of the latest TV deal and saw a total of almost \u00a32.4bn paid to the 20 clubs – up from \u00a31.6bn last season.<\/p>\n
\n
Bottom club Sunderland got \u00a393.471m – more than the \u00a393.219m 2015-16 winners Leicester pocketed the previous season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The figures are based on broadcast and commercial deals plus prize money.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Funds from the Premier League’s central commercial deals and overseas broadcast rights are shared equally – as is half of the domestic broadcast income.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A quarter is paid out in prize money based on each club’s league position and the other quarter in “facility fees” for each game broadcast on UK television.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Arsenal were the top earners in 2015-16 with \u00a3100.9m – but only the three relegated sides of Hull, Middlesbrough and Sunderland were paid less than that figure in 2016-17.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ratio between the highest and lowest totals paid by the Premier League to its clubs in 2016-17 was 1.61 to 1, the lowest among Europe’s top leagues, which means the Premier League is more equal when it comes to sharing revenue than its rivals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Premier League also paid out nearly \u00a3220m to Aston Villa, Cardiff, Fulham, Newcastle, Norwich, QPR, Reading and Wigan in parachute payments.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Villa, Newcastle and Norwich – the three most recently relegated sides – got almost \u00a341m each.<\/p>\n
