How this is worked out
Statutory redundancy pay is based on full years of service, capped at 20 years, and your age in each year of employment. The standard rules are half a week’s pay for each full year under 22, one week’s pay for each full year aged 22 to 40, and one and a half week’s pay for each full year aged 41 or older.
Weekly pay is your average earnings over the 12 weeks before your redundancy notice. This calculator estimates weekly pay from your annual salary divided by 52. The statutory weekly pay cap is £719 for redundancies on or after 6 April 2025.
You do not usually pay tax on the first combined £30,000 of statutory redundancy pay and any additional contractual redundancy pay. Amounts above that are taxable, and other termination payments like holiday pay or PILON are taxed separately.
