UK employment pay, calculated properly

Losing a job or starting a family comes with enough stress without doing statutory maths by hand. These calculators implement the actual UK formulas — the redundancy age bands (0.5×, 1×, 1.5× weeks' pay), the £751 weekly cap, the paternity 26-week service test, the statutory notice ladder — so you get a trustworthy figure in seconds.

Each tool shows its working: year-by-year breakdowns, the exact rates applied, and plain-English notes on tax treatment. Where the rules changed recently — such as paternity leave becoming a day-one right in April 2026 — the calculators reflect it.

Results are estimates for guidance, not legal advice. For binding figures or disputes, speak to Acas or an employment adviser. See our disclaimer.

Frequently asked questions

Are these calculators free?
Yes — every calculator on this site is completely free, with no sign-up and no limits. They run entirely in your browser.
How accurate are the results?
The calculators implement the statutory formulas with current 2026/27 rates (for example, the £751/week redundancy pay cap and the £194.32/week paternity pay rate). They are estimates for guidance — see our disclaimer — and don't replace professional advice.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Nothing is uploaded or stored — all calculations happen on your device, so your pay details stay private.
Which calculator do I need if I'm being made redundant?
Start with the redundancy pay calculator for your statutory entitlement, then use the notice pay (PILON) calculator for any payment in lieu of notice — the two are taxed differently.
