Redundancy Pay Table

Look up how many weeks’ pay you are entitled to for any combination of age and length of service.

Weeks’ pay by age and service

Find your age down the left, your complete years of service across the top. The number in the cell is how many weeks’ pay you are due. Multiply it by your weekly pay — capped at £751.00 — to get your statutory redundancy payment.

Columns are complete years of continuous service. — marks combinations omitted because the service would have had to begin before age 15. Service beyond 20 years does not increase the payment, and the formula can never award more than 30 weeks’ pay.

Common questions

How many weeks’ redundancy pay do I get?

It depends on your age in each year you worked. You get half a week’s pay for each full year worked under 22, one week for each year aged 22 to 40, and one and a half weeks for each year aged 41 or over, up to a maximum of 20 years of service.

What is the maximum statutory redundancy payment?

The maximum is £22,530.00 in Great Britain. That comes from the 20-year service limit combined with the £751.00 weekly pay cap and the maximum 30 weeks' pay the formula can produce.

Why is the maximum 30 weeks?

Because service is capped at 20 years and the highest rate is one and a half weeks per year. Twenty years all worked aged 41 or over gives 20 × 1.5 = 30 weeks, which is the most the statutory formula can ever award.
