About the Statutory Redundancy Pay Calculator
If you're made redundant after 2+ years of continuous service, you're entitled to statutory redundancy pay in England, Scotland and Wales. The amount depends on your age during each year of service, your length of service (capped at 20 years) and your weekly pay (capped at £751 for 2026/27).
How it works
For each year of service (counting back from your redundancy date, capped at the most recent 20 years), you get:
- 0.5 week's pay for each full year worked while under 22
- 1 week's pay for each full year worked aged 22 to 40
- 1.5 week's pay for each full year worked aged 41 or over
Weekly pay used in the calculation is capped at £751 (2026/27), even if you actually earn more.
Assumptions and behaviour
- Approximates your age during each year of service by counting back from your current age, one year at a time — this matches how most online calculators and HR teams estimate the age-banded multiplier.
- Only the most recent 20 years of continuous service count, even if you've worked longer.
- Weekly pay is automatically capped at £751 per the 2026/27 statutory limit.
Limitations
- This is statutory redundancy pay only — many employers offer an enhanced (contractual) redundancy package on top, which this doesn't estimate.
- Doesn't check eligibility (2+ years' continuous service, employee status, not excluded for gross misconduct, etc.).
- Estimates only — not legal advice. Use GOV.UK's official calculator or consult ACAS for a precise, dated figure.
