What is Redundancy Pay?
Redundancy pay is a sum of money paid in case of termination of employment due to the lack of a need for that specific position. If the duration of your continuous service is at least two years, then in most cases under the UK employment law you are entitled to statutory redundancy pay..
- Age bands: 1.5 weeks’ pay per year (41+), 1 week (22–40), 0.5 week (under 22).
- Weekly pay cap: Your weekly pay is capped at the legal limit set by the UK government.
- Full years only: The calculation uses complete years of service.
Your weekly wage is limited to a certain amount and this amount is reviewed and changed every year (the calculator is always updated according to the latest rate automatically).

Statutory Redundancy Pay vs Voluntary Redundancy
Many UK employers offer voluntary redundancy packages to employees.
The difference is simple:
- Statutory redundancy pay is the minimum amount the law requires your employer to pay.
- Voluntary redundancy often includes extra payments or incentives, depending on company policy.
Our calculator shows your statutory amount, so you can understand your legal entitlement. Any voluntary payment is added on top by your employer.
Redundancy and Tax: What You Should Know
