How Statutory Redundancy Pay Works
If you have at least 2 years of continuous employment and are made redundant, UK law entitles you to statutory redundancy pay. For each complete year of service (up to 20 years), you receive a fraction of a week's pay based on your age during that year: half a week if under 22, one week between 22 and 40, and one and a half weeks at 41 or over.
Your weekly pay is capped at the GOV.UK statutory limit (£719 from April 2025). The first £30,000 of a genuine redundancy payment is generally tax-free — amounts above that may be taxable.
This calculator shows statutory minimum redundancy pay only. Contractual or enhanced schemes may pay more. This is not employment law advice — consult ACAS, your union, or a solicitor for your specific case.
