MyRedundancyRights.co.uk provides free, clear, and confidential guidance on your UK employment rights, statutory redundancy pay, and what to do next. Statutory redundancy figures are updated for the limits applying from 6 April 2026.
Use our statutory redundancy pay calculator to estimate what you are owed based on your age, pay and years of service. For employment ending from 6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027, the weekly pay cap is £751 and the maximum statutory payment is £22,530 in Great Britain; in Northern Ireland the cap is £783 and the maximum is £23,490. Our calculator also estimates notice pay and holiday pay.
Concerned about your redundancy? Our redundancy checklist asks eight questions and flags potential concerns; its colour rating does not determine whether a dismissal is lawful.
Employees with at least two years' continuous service may qualify for statutory redundancy pay; statutory notice and a fair process have separate conditions. Consultation should take place before final decisions. Great Britain and Northern Ireland rules differ; see GOV.UK and nidirect.
In Great Britain there is no fixed consultation period for fewer than 20 proposed redundancies. For 20–99 proposed dismissals at one establishment within 90 days, collective consultation must start at least 30 days before the first dismissal; for 100 or more, at least 45 days. See Acas.
If you face redundancy or have been offered a settlement agreement, our action plan suggests next steps and editable letters. Check any proposed letter against your own circumstances and deadline.
Our employer redundancy hub provides HR managers and business owners with a step-by-step process guide, compliance checker, multi-employee pay calculator, and professionally drafted letter templates to help you carry out redundancies lawfully.
