Cost one UK redundancy at 2026/27 rates

It works out what one UK redundancy costs the employer. You enter weekly pay, age, complete years of service, notice paid in lieu and any enhanced payment. It returns statutory redundancy pay at the capped weekly rate, the PILON figure, the amount above the £30,000 exemption, employer Class 1 and Class 1A National Insurance, and the total cash the business pays.

UK HR managers, payroll managers and finance controllers who have to put a number on a redundancy or a settlement agreement before it is offered. It suits small and mid-sized employers without an in-house employment lawyer, and consultants pricing a redundancy consultation for a client in the 2026/27 tax year.

Free redundancy calculators return the employee's statutory entitlement only. They stop before PILON, the £30,000 exemption and employer National Insurance, which is where the employer's money actually goes. General chatbots still quote the 2025/26 weekly cap of £719 and commonly treat notice pay as covered by the £30,000.

Every calculation is free, for both tax years, with no usage limit and nothing blurred or locked. The £29 licence key adds two things on a different axis: .csv export of a whole consultation pool so the figures leave the browser as a file you own, and an alarm before the April uprating changes the cap.

UK employers typically contribute £500 to £750 plus VAT towards the independent legal advice an employee must take on a single settlement agreement, and that contribution buys roughly two hours of solicitor time. The licence key is £29 once, and the calculation itself is free and unlimited without it.
