Great Britain only, redundancy on or after 6 April 2026; requires statutory employee eligibility and correctly allocated FULL service years by age.

Estimate only. A bank, employer, tax office or lender may apply additional conditions. See the scope and source below.

When and how to use this calculator

Six completed service years when aged 22–40 and four after 41 equal 6 × 1 week plus 4 × 1.5 weeks: 12 weeks' pay. From 6 April 2026 the weekly statutory cap for Great Britain is £751.

  1. Only use if the dismissal occurs on or after 6 April 2026 and the relevant GB statutory scheme applies. Northern Ireland has different statutory caps.
  2. Split up to 20 FULL completed service years by the age you were during each year: under 22, 22–40 or 41+. Ignore partial years.
  3. Enter the applicable statutory average weekly gross pay. Confirm the 12-week reference period, eligibility and contractual enhancement with HR or ACAS.

Understand your result

Great Britain only; the age bands are based on user-entered FULL years, capped at 20; redundancy eligibility, reference pay period, dismissals before 6 April 2026, contractual schemes, exceptions and taxes require separate checks.
