UK Redundancy Pay Calculator

Statutory redundancy pay depends on age, complete years of continuous service and weekly pay, subject to the statutory weekly pay cap and a maximum of 20 years of service. The calculator applies the age multiplier to each year of service and then multiplies the total weeks by capped weekly pay.

For 2026/27, GOV.UK states that weekly pay is capped at GBP751 for redundancies on or after 6 April 2026. The age multipliers are 0.5 week's pay for each full year worked under age 22, 1 week's pay for each full year from age 22 to 40, and 1.5 weeks' pay for each full year aged 41 or over. Enhanced employer schemes can pay more than the statutory minimum.

Use the result as a practical planning estimate for age, weekly pay cap, years of service, age-band breakdown, statutory redundancy pay. The calculator is designed to make the main moving parts visible immediately, so it is most useful when you want to compare scenarios, sense-check a decision, or understand why one input changes the final result.

Before relying on the number, check whether your situation includes anything outside the calculator scope. Common examples are local rules, provider fees, payroll timing, special reliefs, bank holidays, tariff changes, exchange-rate markups, unusual tax codes, or personal circumstances that need official guidance or professional advice.

To make the estimate more accurate, use figures from the most recent bill, payslip, lender quote, receipt, official notice or provider screen you have. Rounded inputs are fine for quick comparisons, but precise inputs are better when you are deciding whether something is affordable or comparing two similar options.

Re-run the calculator whenever a key assumption changes, such as a new rate, different term, changed salary, updated threshold, extra fee, altered usage pattern or different date range. Keeping those assumptions fresh is often more useful than trying to make one calculation perfect.

If you are using the result for a formal decision, keep a note of the inputs you used and the date of the calculation. That makes it easier to compare the estimate with a later quote, bill, payslip or official calculation.
