These reference tables show UK statutory redundancy pay amounts for the 2025/26 tax year, using the maximum weekly pay cap of £643. If your weekly pay is below the cap, multiply the number of weeks shown by your actual weekly pay instead. For an exact calculation tailored to your situation, use our redundancy calculator.
How to Read the Table
The table below shows the number of weeks' pay and the maximum statutory amount for different combinations of years of service. The multiplier depends on your age during each year of service: 0.5 weeks if you were under 22, 1.0 weeks for ages 22–40, and 1.5 weeks for age 41 and over. Because the multiplier varies by year, workers whose age spans multiple bands will have a mixed calculation — use our calculator for these cases.
The "weeks" column shows the total weeks multiplier for someone who was entirely within one age band for all their years of service. The "maximum statutory" column shows the amount at the £643 weekly pay cap. If your weekly pay is lower, your amount will be proportionally less.

Mixed Age Band Calculations
If your employment spans multiple age bands — for example, you started working at age 20 and is now being made redundant at 45 — the calculation uses different multipliers for different years. Some years will be at 0.5×, some at 1.0×, and some at 1.5×. The tables above give single-band figures. For a precise mixed-band calculation, use our redundancy calculator which handles this automatically.
Maximum Possible Statutory Pay
The absolute maximum statutory redundancy pay is achieved with 20 years of service, all at the 41+ age band, using the capped weekly pay. That gives 20 × 1.5 = 30 weeks × £643 = £19,290. This is well within the £30,000 tax-free threshold, meaning maximum statutory redundancy pay is always entirely tax-free. See our tax guide and our maximum entitlement scenario for more.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my weekly pay is below the cap?
Simply multiply the "Total Weeks" column by your actual weekly gross pay instead of the cap amount. For example, 10 years at age 22–40 with £400/week pay = 10 × £400 = £4,000.
When does the weekly pay cap change?
The cap is reviewed and usually updated each April at the start of the new tax year. We update our calculator and tables as soon as new rates are confirmed.
