Questions people ask
How is statutory redundancy pay worked out?+
Count your full years of service backwards from the redundancy date, up to 20 years. Each year is worth half a week's pay if you were under 22, one week's pay if you were 22 to 40, and one and a half weeks' pay if you were 41 or older.
What is the maximum statutory redundancy pay in 2026?+
From 6 April 2026 a week's pay is capped at £751 (£783 in Northern Ireland), so the most you can get is £22,530 (30 weeks × £751).
Do I need 2 years' service?+
Yes. You must be an employee with at least 2 full years of continuous service with the same employer to get statutory redundancy pay.
Is redundancy pay taxed?+
The first £30,000 of a redundancy payment is tax-free. Notice pay and holiday pay are taxed like normal wages.
