Work out your statutory redundancy entitlement based on age, length of service, and weekly pay — using the current 2026/27 rates. Nothing you enter is ever stored.
Statutory redundancy pay is worked out from your age during each year of service, your length of service, and your weekly pay — all set out in the Employment Rights Act 1996. You need at least 2 years' continuous service to qualify.
For each full year of service, going back from your redundancy date, you're entitled to: half a week's pay for years you were under 22, one week's pay for years you were 22–40, and one and a half weeks' pay for years you were 41 or over. Only the most recent 20 years of service count.
Your weekly pay is also capped — for redundancies from 6 April 2026, the cap is £751 per week, giving a maximum possible statutory redundancy payment of £22,530, regardless of how long you've worked or how much you earn.
This calculator gives an estimate based on the standard statutory formula — it's provided for convenience, not legal or financial advice. Your employer or, in a dispute, an employment tribunal makes the binding calculation. The first £30,000 of statutory redundancy pay is usually tax-free.
