How much redundancy pay will I get?

If you qualify, statutory redundancy pay is half, one or one and a half weeks’ pay for each full year worked, according to your age in that year.

Your employer: Quiz announced about 200 job cuts on 26 September 2026.

Use your average weekly pay in the 12 weeks before your redundancy notice.

Who qualifies?

You normally need to be an employee with at least 2 years’ continuous service. Your employer may pay more under your contract. Service is counted backwards from the redundancy date, with the most recent years first.

This is an estimate, not advice. Check your circumstances with GOV.UK’s statutory redundancy pay guide.
