The Queen is to receive an 8% increase in income from public funds, after the Crown Estate's profits rose by £24m.
The Sovereign Grant, which pays for the salaries of her household, official travel and upkeep of palaces, is to increase by more than £6m in 2018/19.
It comes as accounts revealed the Queen's official net expenditure last year increased by £2m, to almost £42m.
Sir Alan Reid, Keeper of the Privy Purse, said the Queen represented "excellent value for money".
Royal accounts - some key figures
£82.2m - Amount the Queen is expected to get from the Sovereign Grant in 2018/2019
£4.5m - Cost of the Queen and the Royal Family's official travel
£288,697 - Amount spent on the Royal Train travel for 14 trips
£1.2m - Cost of replacing doors on the orangery at Windsor Castle
£154,000 - Estimated cost of Prince Charles and Camilla using "Cam Force One" - the official government plane - to visit Italy, Romania and Austria
