The players' pool of monies is from the live gate at the first three games of each Division Series, and the first four games of each League Championship Series and the World Series. This eliminates any incentive to boost the pool by "ensuring" that a particular playoff series plays longer than it should by adjusting the game outcomes. (We had enough of that, for a different reason, in 1919.)
The WS winning team gets 36% of the pool. Each team divvies up its pool by active roster vote (taken in late August, so the call-ups don't have a say). How many full shares, partial shares, and flat-dollar amount awards factor in to how much a share is worth. One share from the 2006 Cardinals bonus was about $360k.
The full breakdown of the pool:
WS winner 36%
WS loser 24%
LCS loser teams 12% each
Division Series losers 3% each
Second place teams that didn't get the wildcard 1% each
This is from the 2002-06 CBA but I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed in the latest agreement.

Major League Baseball announced that the Boston Red Sox players would receive $223,619.79 for a full share of winning the World Series this year. (2004)
A total of 58 players were awarded full shares on the Red Sox, while 29 received partial shares and another eight reeled in cash awards.
Cardinal players voted to give 51 full shares at $163,378.53 apiece. Another 35 received partial shares and 16 received cash awards.
The players' pool, formed from 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first three games of the Division Series and 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first four games from the League Championship Series and World Series, was divided among 12 clubs: eight that made the postseason and the second-place finishers in each of the six divisions that were not wild card participants.
The Yankees awarded 46 full shares at $94,061, while the Houston Astros voted for 39 full shares at $101,182.
The runners-up in the AL Division Series, the Anaheim Angels and Minnesota Twins, were awarded full shares of $25,138 and $27,440, respectively. The losers of the NL Division Series, the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers, received $23,172 and $24,473, respectively.
The second-place division finishers of the Chicago White Sox ($9,308), Oakland Athletics ($9,031), Philadelphia Phillies ($8,414) and San Francisco Giants ($8,892) received smaller full shares for their efforts.
