Download our statutory redundancy pay table for 2026

A cross-reference grid that shows how many weeks' redundancy pay an employee is owed based on their age and completed years of service - no manual calculation needed.

Find the employee's age in the left-hand column, follow the row across to their completed years of service, and read off the weeks owed. Multiply that number by their weekly pay (up to the statutory cap) to get the total.

£751 per week, effective from 6th April 2026. If an employee earns more than this, their redundancy pay is still calculated using £751.

Statutory redundancy pay is calculated based on the employee’s age, their completed years of service (up to 20 years), and weekly pay (capped at £751). The amount owed is worked out using set rates for each year of service: half a week’s pay for each full year under age 22, one week’s pay for each full year between ages 22 and 40, and one and a half weeks’ pay for each full year aged 41 or over.

For example, an employee aged 46 with 10 years of service would have their service split across age bands. If they started employment at age 35, they would have 5 years worked in the 22-40 age band, and 5 years worked aged 41 and over. Their redundancy pay would therefore be calculated as: 5 years × 1 week’s pay, plus 5 years × 1.5 weeks’ pay, subject to the weekly cap.

It applies in England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland has its own scheme with different rates and caps.
