UK redundancy cost calculator

Estimate the likely exit cost of making someone redundant, including notice pay, redundancy pay and related costs.

This is a budgeting estimate for planning a redundancy or exit package. It treats notice pay as salary-based and lets you add extra exit costs such as legal advice, HR time or outplacement support.

This is not a legal redundancy calculator. Statutory rules, consultation duties, notice periods, tax treatment and settlement terms can all change the final amount.

Why this is useful

Redundancy decisions often need a fast budget estimate before you get into the legal and HR process. This helps you compare the likely cost of an exit with other staffing options.

What drives the total

The main costs are usually notice pay, redundancy pay, accrued holiday and any settlement or support costs. Pension during notice and other support costs can also matter.

Important limits

This is a planning estimate, not a legal outcome. Consultation duties, notice rules, tax treatment, settlement terms and special protections can all change the real cost.
