Redundancy Calculator
This redundancy calculator is a facility which calculates the amount of UK Statutory Redundancy Pay due to an employee on dismissal. Select Age at Dismissal, and enter Years of Service and Weekly Pay. Then click "CALCULATE" to show the entitlement according to the statutory calculation.
Elements used in the redundancy pay calculator : Age is in full years and Years of Service are full completed years. You must have completed at least two full years of service to be entitled to statutory redundancy pay, and the calculation is based on a maximum of twenty years service. If the Weekly Pay is greater than £380 (from 1st October 2009) then the calculated amount will be limited to a figure based on a statutory maximum for weekly pay of £380. (Prior to 1st October 2009 the previous limit was £350). The calculated amount is based on a formula involving these elements of age, service and pay, as laid down by the UK government. Although age is a factor, upper and lower age limits were removed in 2006 for compatibility with age discrimination legislation.
Note : The Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2010 increases the statutory maximum weekly pay to £400 from £380 with effect from 1st February 2011. From that date the default maximum in this calculator will change accordingly. You can alter the figure prior to that date in the calculator if the date of termination for your calculation is after that date.
The calculation of the redundancy pay entitlement is performed in line with the rules laid down by the UK Government's Department for Business Enterprise and Statutory Reform (BERR). See BERR Redundancy Pay Calculator for further information.
