📘 About the UK Statutory Redundancy Pay Calculator 2026

You qualify for statutory redundancy pay after 2 years of continuous service. You get half a week's pay for each full year worked under age 22, one week for each year aged 22 to 40, and one and a half weeks for each year aged 41 or older, counting back from your redundancy date for up to 20 years.

Weekly pay is capped at £751 in Great Britain and £783 in Northern Ireland for redundancies from 6 April 2026, so the most you can get is £22,530 (£23,490 in NI). The first £30,000 of redundancy pay is tax-free.
