UK Redundancy Pay Calculator 2026/27

The UK Redundancy Pay Calculator from UK Creative Ventures is a free online tool that calculates statutory redundancy pay, notice pay, and the full redundancy package for employees in the UK.

The calculator provides a week-by-week age band breakdown, tax estimates, and a summary of tax-free and taxable components.

What is the UK Redundancy Pay Calculator?

This is a free web-based tool that computes statutory redundancy pay based on age, years of service (up to 20 years), and weekly gross pay (capped). It also calculates statutory minimum notice pay, compares it with contractual notice, and estimates tax and National Insurance on notice pay. The full package section combines statutory redundancy, notice pay, accrued holiday pay, and any enhanced redundancy pay, showing the tax-free and taxable portions. The tool is provided by UK Creative Ventures, a Bristol-based business offering marketing, recruitment, and education services.

How does the UK Redundancy Pay Calculator work?

The calculator uses the statutory formula: for each year of service, multiply the number of weeks (based on age band) by your weekly pay (capped). It then sums these amounts. For notice pay, it calculates the statutory minimum (1 week per year, max 12) and compares it with your contractual notice, using the higher value. The full package section adds statutory redundancy, notice pay, holiday pay, and enhanced pay, then applies the £30,000 tax-free threshold and estimates tax on the taxable portion.
