Redundancy Pay Calculator

Calculate your statutory redundancy pay entitlement based on your age, length of service, and weekly pay. You must have worked for your employer for at least 2 continuous years to qualify.

Weekly pay is capped at £643/week (2024/25 rate — reviewed annually). If you earn more than this, the cap applies.

Your Statutory Redundancy Pay

Statutory redundancy pay up to £30,000 is tax-free. Your employer may offer an enhanced package above the statutory minimum — check your employment contract.

How It's Calculated

For each complete year of service (max 20 years):
Age under 22: ½ week's pay per year
Age 22–40: 1 week's pay per year
Age 41 or over: 1½ weeks' pay per year
Weekly pay is capped at £643. Maximum total statutory pay: £19,290.
Don't forget: As well as redundancy pay, you're entitled to your notice period (or pay in lieu), any untaken holiday pay, and potentially other contractual benefits. See our Redundancy Rights Guide for the full picture.

Why petrol prices are surging – and why small stations can't absorb the cost

If you've noticed petrol prices hitting an 18-month high at the pumps, you're not imagining it. But here's something that might surprise you: the petrol station owner isn't necessarily pocketing the difference. **Why prices are jumping so fast** The surge follows the recent escalation of conflict in the Middle East, which has driven oil prices up sharply. Diesel has been hit particularly hard, with the biggest price increases in over two years. The problem is how quickly these global price movements filter through to your local forecourt – and it varies dramatically depending on the size of the retailer. **The difference between big and small operators** Large supermarkets and major fuel retailers buy oil in bulk and often purchase weeks in advance. This means rising wholesale costs reach their pumps more gradually, and they can negotiate better rates because of the volumes they're buying. Small independent petrol stations, however, operate on what's...

Rents falling across UK cities – what it means for tenants in 2026

Good news for renters: landlords are cutting rents across Britain for the first time in years, giving tenants real bargaining power. According to new data from Hamptons estate agents, rents have dropped in major cities nationwide. Bristol has seen a 5 per cent fall (from £1,440 to £1,370 monthly), Manchester is down 4 per cent (£1,210 to £1,160), and even London has dipped 2.3 per cent year-on-year. Some smaller towns have seen steeper cuts – Exeter rents fell 13 per cent and Luton by 11 per cent. **Why is this happening?** Two things are shifting the rental market in your favour. First, landlords are leaving the sector in record numbers. The private rented sector's value dropped by £48 billion in 2025 alone – the biggest annual decline this century. Second, tenants face ongoing cost-of-living pressures, so fewer people are searching for rental homes. This means more empty properties and more competition among landlords to fill them. **What does this mean for you?** If y...
