PILON Calculator
Work out your payment in lieu of notice — what you are owed for notice you will not be working, and what you will actually take home.
Your notice details
PILON is not subject to the statutory weekly cap — it uses your actual pay.
Leave at 0 if you are leaving immediately.

What is PILON?
Payment in lieu of notice is money paid instead of requiring you to work your notice period. Your employment ends straight away and you receive the pay you would have earned during notice as a lump sum.
When it applies
Usually when your contract contains a PILON clause. Without one, your employer needs your agreement to end the contract early.
How it is taxed
Since April 2018, all PILON is taxable as earnings under the PENP rules, whether or not there is a contractual clause.
Effect on redundancy pay
None. PILON is paid on top of your statutory redundancy pay, not instead of it.
Working out the whole package?
PILON is one component. The tax calculator combines it with your redundancy pay, holiday pay and any ex-gratia payment to estimate your total take-home.
