NHS Redundancy Calculator

Agenda for Change – Section 16 (England) (2026/27)

Completed Years of NHS Service Whole years only. Minimum 2 years required for contractual redundancy; part years are disregarded. Enter your full service — the payment counts up to 24 years.

Band

Step Select your current pay step, or override with a manual salary.

Contracted Hours Per Week Full-time is 37.5 hours; full-time staff don't need to change this. Part-time examples: 18.75, 22.5, 30. Your FTE is calculated automatically. FTE: 100.00%

Manual Annual Salary — Full-Time Equivalent (£) Optional. Leave blank to use the band/step salary. Part-time staff: enter what you would earn working full-time, not your actual part-time pay, or the result will be wrong.

Tax-Year Income (for the tax estimate)

Taxable Pay to Date This Tax Year (£) Your "taxable pay to date" from your latest payslip (since 6 April), before redundancy. This is usually lower than gross pay because NHS pension contributions are deducted before tax.

Expected Remaining Taxable Pay This Tax Year (£) Other taxable income you expect between now and 5 April, apart from the redundancy payment: pay until your leaving date, notice pay, holiday pay, a new job, taxable pension or benefits. Enter 0 if none.

Enter employment-type income here: pay, taxable benefits and pensions. Savings interest, dividends and some other income are taxed under different rules and allowances, so this calculator's tax estimate may not be accurate for them.
