Statutory redundancy pay
The legal minimum in England, Wales and Scotland. Your contract or redundancy policy may give you more, and that is usually where the real money is.
Statutory redundancy pay
£12,391.50
16.5 weeks' pay at £751.00 a week. Statutory minimum notice: 12 weeks.
How this was worked out
- Complete years of continuous employment to 2026-09-28: 14.
- Week's pay £1,250.00 is capped at £751.00 for a relevant date of 2026-09-28.
- Counting back 14 years: 5 at 1.5 weeks, 9 at 1 week, 0 at 0.5 weeks = 16.5 weeks.
- 16.5 weeks x £751.00 = £12,391.50.

This is the legal floor, not the ceiling. Enhanced redundancy terms, notice pay, holiday, bonus and share awards often add far more, and your contract and policies decide which apply. JammyFox reads your own documents to find them.
