Assumptions
- From 6 April 2026 the weekly cap is £751 and the maximum statutory payment is £22,530.
- Years are counted backwards from the age you enter: 1.5 weeks from 41, 1 week from 22, and 0.5 week under 22, up to 20 years.
- Statutory redundancy pay under £30,000 is not taxable. Notice pay, holiday pay and unpaid wages are not included and can be taxable.
- You normally need two years of employment. That qualifying rule is not checked beyond the years you enter.
Questions
What if the redundancy was before 6 April 2026?
The weekly cap was lower. This calculator does not invent that earlier cap. Use the 2026 to 2027 statutory figures only for redundancies on or after 6 April 2026.
