It will see the Gunners earn a total of ÂŁ3.6 million prize money, excluding the money earned for victories in earlier rounds.
They will also earn ÂŁ2.6 million just for entering the Europa League group stage.
Arsenal expect to get a further ÂŁ7.5million of gate receipts expected, if their fans are able to enter the Emirates for those three Europa League group games.
Aside from the guaranteed money, Mikel Arteta’s men could earn a further £900k for each win in the group stage, giving them a maximum income of £5.4m in additional revenue.
The Gunners will also be paid a ÂŁ900k bonus for topping the group, ÂŁ450k for reaching the Round of 32, ÂŁ990k for reaching the Round of 16 and ÂŁ1.3m for playing in the quarter-finals.
These payments increase to ÂŁ2.1m for the semi-finals with the winners netting a cool ÂŁ7.6 million.
That means Arsenal have a potential of ÂŁ41m of Europa League earnings.
Some of that money will be redirected to players in the form of bonuses and a reduction in the 12.5% pay cut they previously agreed.
