How this is calculated

The calculation follows section 162 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the schedule used by the GOV.UK calculator:

  1. Take the number of complete years of continuous service at the date of dismissal, capped at 20 years.
  2. For each year, apply the age-based multiplier: 1.5 weeks' pay for years aged 41 or over; 1 week aged 22–40; half a week aged under 22.
  3. Multiply the total weeks awarded by your week's gross pay, with that figure capped at the statutory weekly pay cap (currently £751 from 6 April 2026).

Statutory redundancy pay is tax-free up to £30,000 (combined with any enhanced redundancy your employer offers).
