Estimate statutory redundancy pay from age, eligible service and weekly pay. This page is useful when you need to know the legal floor before deciding whether an offer, settlement or support package is fair.
A worker with eight complete years of service, age 42 and weekly pay of £700 could receive a statutory redundancy figure based on the 1.5-week multiplier for older service years, subject to the weekly cap and the statutory maximum.
- Age during service years changes the multiplier, so the same service length can produce a different result.
- Weekly pay is capped for the statutory calculation.
- Employer-enhanced packages can sit above or below the statutory minimum depending on the agreement.

Why two users can see different results
Why the result can differ
Different tax codes, payroll periods, Scottish bands, pension methods or lender assumptions can change the outcome.
One-off bonuses, pay frequency, overpayments, allowances and reliefs can move the result away from a simple annual estimate.
Where a rule depends on eligibility or legal status, this page shows an estimate and links to official guidance.
This section is intentionally repeated on key tools so the explanation stays near the result instead of being hidden in a separate policy page.
