"I achieved a lot in my first season here and hopefully I can continue to experience great things at this club, both on a personal level and in terms of bringing success and trophies to Chelsea."
Palmer's new wage is reportedly around £120,000 per week, comparable to midfield partners Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
This increase comes from Chelsea's contract policy, which focuses on lower base wages with significant performance-based incentives.
The average senior squad wage at Chelsea is now £60,000-a-week, a significant decrease from the £200,000-a-week under Roman Abramovich's ownership.
The Blues begin their league campaign against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge and Palmer will be relied on to provide the firepower to push Enzo Maresca's men back to the top.
