Calculate your statutory redundancy pay

The redundancy payment due to each employee under the statutory redundancy payment scheme depends on his or her age and length of service (subject to a statutory limit on weekly pay).

To calculate the number of weeks pay due, you should use the following amounts:

  • 0.5 week’s pay for each full year of service where age during year less than 22
  • 1 week’s pay for each full year of service where age during year is 22 or above, but less than 41
  • 1.5 week’s pay for each full year of service where age during year is 41+


The figure will be accurate from 6th April 2025.

What is redundancy pay?

Redundancy pay might seem simple, but it can get complicated. One important legal question is whether the termination qualifies as a ‘genuine redundancy’. This means that the employer must meet all obligations to consult about the redundancy, as specified in an enterprise agreement or award. The decision to make the employee redundant should not be based on the employee’s competence, misconduct, or personal acts. Clarkslegal lawyers are experts in advising both employers and employees on identifying genuine redundancies, making necessary payments, and determining employee entitlements following termination.
