About the UK Redundancy Pay Calculator

Employees with at least 2 years' service get half a week's pay for each full year 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 the redundancy date up to 20 years. Weekly pay is capped at £751 for redundancies from 6 April 2026, so the maximum is £22,530. Your contract may give more.

The formula

Pay = Σ weeks per year (by age) × min(weekly pay, £751)

Worked example
