United Kingdom version
How it works
Calculate an explicitly verified severance formula and reconcile contractual additions. Age-weighted UK redundancy and Irish statutory rules are not substituted with a universal one-week rate.
This is the United Kingdom planning view, with monetary inputs and outputs in GBP. A currency label does not establish that a tax rate, construction price, coverage rule or legal limit has been verified locally. The inputs and limitations below describe the actual scope.

Formula
Basic amount = eligible capped weekly pay × (eligible service years × verified weeks per year + bonus weeks). Add notice, leave and enhancement; subtract entered withholding.
Calculations retain numeric precision internally. Displayed values are rounded for readability. Quantities that must be purchased as whole units are rounded up only where the formula explicitly requires it.
Read the inputs before calculating
- Eligible weekly pay: Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Eligible years of service: Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Verified entitlement weeks per service year: Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Additional verified weeks: Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Verified statutory weekly-pay cap (0 = no cap entered): Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Separate notice/pay-in-lieu amount: Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Separate accrued leave amount: Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Contractual enhancement: Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Independently calculated tax/withholding: Enter the quantity described by the label.
- Applicable jurisdiction rules and entered amounts independently verified: Enter the quantity described by the label. Leave this unconfirmed until you have actually checked the required condition.
Reproducible worked example
The following is a fictional arithmetic example, not a local quote, a verified claimant or a market forecast. Its values are included so the formula can be checked. The form does not automatically confirm any verification checkbox.

| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Eligible weekly pay | 1,000 |
| Eligible years of service | 5 |
| Verified entitlement weeks per service year | 1 |
| Additional verified weeks | 0 |
| Verified statutory weekly-pay cap (0 = no cap entered) | 0 |
| Separate notice/pay-in-lieu amount | 0 |
| Separate accrued leave amount | 0 |
| Contractual enhancement | 0 |
| Independently calculated tax/withholding | 0 |
| Applicable jurisdiction rules and entered amounts independently verified | true |
| Output | Calculated result |
|---|---|
| Weekly pay used | GBP 1,000 |
| Modeled basic severance | GBP 5,000 |
| Total entered gross package | GBP 5,000 |
| Package after entered withholding | GBP 5,000 |
Interpreting a changed assumption
Start with one complete scenario and change only one input when diagnosing a difference. Recheck units, the period of every rate, whether an amount is recurring or one-off, and whether a cost is already included elsewhere. A larger calculated benefit is not evidence that an assumption is more likely to occur.
Limitations
- A worksheet is not a legal entitlement, court award, filing deadline, benefit decision or legal advice. Confirm the jurisdiction and facts with a qualified local professional.
- No state negligence rule, damages cap, limitation period, child-support schedule or benefit table is inferred.
- The default one-week multiplier is an illustration, not a statutory entitlement. Verify service rounding, age weighting, eligibility, cap date, minimum service and contract terms before confirming.
Frequently asked questions
What does this Severance Package result represent?
Calculate an explicitly verified severance formula and reconcile contractual additions. Age-weighted UK redundancy and Irish statutory rules are not substituted with a universal one-week rate. It applies the displayed formula to your inputs; it does not infer omitted facts.
Are the starting amounts verified United Kingdom prices or legal rules?
No. Numeric defaults are illustrative unless an input or dated reference explicitly identifies a researched component. Currency is GBP; local quotes, eligibility and unsupported rules must be entered and verified separately.
What must I check before relying on the result?
A worksheet is not a legal entitlement, court award, filing deadline, benefit decision or legal advice. Confirm the jurisdiction and facts with a qualified local professional. No state negligence rule, damages cap, limitation period, child-support schedule or benefit table is inferred.
Can I compare or share different assumptions?
Change one assumption at a time and use the browser-local project or share controls. A shared URL contains the encoded input values; do not include information you do not wish to disclose.
