Half a week's pay per full year worked under age 22, one week per year between 22 and 40, and 1.5 weeks per year at 41 or older — counted backwards from your redundancy date over at most 20 years.
Statutory redundancy pay is tax-free, and the combined package (statutory + ex-gratia) stays tax-free up to £30,000. Anything above is taxed as earnings through PAYE.
No employee NIC is due on termination payments above £30,000 — since April 2020 the excess bears employer Class 1A NIC only.
