Statutory redundancy pay, and what you might take home from the rest of the package

The official calculators work out statutory redundancy only, as a gross figure. This one also estimates tax on payment in lieu of notice, holiday pay, bonuses, and enhanced severance, and shows a gross package next to an estimated net take-home, using 2026/27 rates.
