The fifth Premier League title in six years is expected to be worth around 164m, the same figure they achieved last season.
SunSport revealed last month that the first Champions League trophy will bring the Etihad Stadium team 117.2 million.
Guardiola's side are highly rated to reach the final next month after a 1-1 draw in Tuesday's semi-final first leg against Real Madrid. And if City beat neighbors Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley on June 3, they will have to pay 3.9m, bringing the total to 285.1m.
City have four league games left, starting with Everton on Sunday, and need nine more points to officially claim the title.
Then, Guardiola and his treble hunters will turn their attention back to Europe's biggest prize in the second leg against Real on Wednesday.
Kevin De Bruyne's superb second-half equalizer at the Bernabeu gave City a golden opportunity to progress to the final in Istanbul.

Lifting the elusive first European trophy will secure them a place in the new Fifa Club World Cup in 2025 - a tournament worth around 50m.
City's earnings in this season's group stage, including coefficients and initial prices, show they raked in 69.6m.
As Premier League champions, Guardiola's men also accounted for 40% of the initial 28.8m investment fund.
Victory in the round of 16 and quarter-finals brought the Abu Dhabi-owned club an extra 20.37m.
And reaching the final, Man City will collect 9.6m from the other half of the market - as they have played 13 of the 39 matches involving English teams. Winning the European Cup in Istanbul next month would mean an extra 17.63m, bringing their total potential earnings to 117.2m.
Man City defender Manuel Akanji said:
We worked all season to get to this position.
"We take things as they are - for now, thinking about the next move and getting ready for it."
