Redundancy Calculator Ireland – Estimate Your Entitlement

A Redundancy Calculator for Ireland is an essential tool for employees and employers navigating redundancy, estimating statutory redundancy payments based on employment details. By inputting data like start and end dates of employment, gross weekly wage, date of birth, and any non-reckonable absences, it calculates the lump-sum entitlement under Ireland’s Redundancy Payments Acts 1967–2014. Also check out the Union Credit Loan Calculator.

The statutory formula is: 2 weeks’ gross pay per year of reckonable service (over age 16) + 1 bonus week, capped at €600 per week. For example, an employee with 10 years of service earning €700 weekly receives (2 × 10 + 1) × €600 = €12,600 (tax-free). Absences like maternity leave are reckonable, but layoffs or sick leave over 26 weeks in the last 3 years are not.

Understanding Statutory Redundancy in Ireland

In Ireland, statutory redundancy payments are governed by the Redundancy Payments Acts and administered by the Department of Social Protection. Eligible employees (aged 16+ with at least 2 years of continuous service) receive:

• 2 weeks’ pay per year of service.

• 1 additional week’s pay as a bonus.

• A weekly pay cap of €600 (as of 2025).

Payments are tax-free up to a certain limit. Our Redundancy Calculator Ireland uses this formula to estimate your entitlement, helping you plan financially during job transitions.
