How much money for promotion?

I’m new to the forum so this is my first post! Does anyone know how much prize money we get for coming 2nd? Is it more or less than the play offs?

It's 200 million if you go up and come straight back down

Someone was telling me yesterday, that it's a cheque for £134m on the first day of the season.
Then at the end of the season, it's a share of the tv money 1/20th. Which is probably £100 m plus whatever your final position is .
Don't know how true that is , so could be worth at least £250m

2nd gets more than 3rd but its not a great deal compared to premier lge moneY ,not sure of exact amounts but i know ive read Newcastle got 7mill for being champs last season, 1/10th of what they got for being bottom of the prem the previous year..
as for the prem clubs recieve between 100 mill and 160 mill depending on lge pos and how many live games...the often quoted 200 mill value of being promted includes parachute payments and increase in other revenue streams due to being in the prem.
