That pot does include what they have already guaranteed for qualifying for next season's Champions League, among the prizes for the Europa League winner. However, Villa's entry in the Champions League is as a direct result of their fourth-place finish in the Premier League.
Financial distribution across all three of Uefa's club competitions is structured identically, with the main differences being in the amounts of money on offer.
For reaching the league phase of the Europa League, Villa were given 4.31m euros (£3.7m). They won seven of their eight matches in that round, earning 3.15m euros (£2.7m). They were given 600,000 euros (£520,000) for a top-eight finish and a further 2.625m euros (£2.3m) for finishing second in the table.
Villa earned 1.75m euros (£1.5m) for reaching the last 16, 2.5m euros (£2.2m) for getting to the quarter-finals and an additional 4.2m euros (£3.6m) for getting into the semi-finals.
For beating Freiburg in the final in Istanbul, Villa received 13m euros (£11.3m).
