For every league and team it is different, for me going from D.V to D.IV I had almost a 13k tv contract boost, about 12k in merchandise and you will be able to increase prices in this Division, I am getting about 65k more in attendance, but that has to do with expanding my arena during this season.
Think of it as atleast 50k boost per week up to about 110k.
And obviously the 200k in the beginning of the season after you promote.

Note that playoff/relegation game revenue is split between participants, two-thirds to the home team, one third to visiting team.

Teams in either the playoffs or relegation series get the extra game income, but they also have to pay player salaries. Teams in the #5 position (and #8) don't get the added revenue, but they also don't have to pay that last two weeks of salary. Because of this, many managers believe that #5 is a better place to finish, if they feel they don't have a chance to win in the playoffs. The BBs maintain that in the end, the added fan support from making any playoff appearance offset this need to pay salaries, so that #4 is better than #5.

Playoff games do apparently give your players more experience than usual league games, so there's that benefit too (which is of course hard to quantify itself).

Another not so recognized ponit is that PO games give you the most gains in experience. I'd go for at least one match to gain the experience, that helps a lot, specially in close matches.

Thanks to everyone for the advice, especially Tangosz and Manon.

I've decided I'm going to try to win in the playoffs even though I would probably be better off just keeping a low salary and losing in the first round. The team I am facing may be 17-1 (I've had my team for a week), but he has spent most of his cash on guards, almost all his scoring is from outside, and his highest salary is below 9k. I think if I pick up a few solid 10k-12k per week inside scorers (already got a good one cheap) and ~3-4 cheaper outside players with high OD I will have a chance. My goals are to start next season with at least 400k and to never have revenue below salary this season, so those are the restrictions I'm placing on my late free agent title chase.
