The weekly cap for 2026/27

Even if you earn more, statutory redundancy pay uses a capped week’s pay. For redundancies on or after 6 April 2026 in England, Scotland and Wales, that cap is £751 (gross), and the maximum statutory payment is £22,530 (gross — 30 weeks × £751). That is from GOV.UK.

In Northern Ireland the current published cap is £783 a week (gross), and the maximum is £23,490 (gross), according to nidirect. Choose Northern Ireland in the calculator to use those figures.

The cap does not apply to holiday pay, PILON or a contractual enhancement — those are worked out on your actual pay, and then taxed under the termination-payment rules.
