Honest, no-fluff articles on severance and redundancy pay — what you are legally owed in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and how much of it you actually keep after tax.
In the UK, the first £30,000 of genuine redundancy pay is tax-free. Anything above £30,000 is taxed as income at your normal rate, but you don’t pay employee National Insurance on it.
Skip the guesswork. Enter your country, years of service, age, and salary to estimate how much severance or redundancy pay you are legally owed — or typically offered — across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
