The NES redundancy table uses completed service bands and base pay for ordinary hours. The entitlement rises to 16 weeks at 9 to under 10 years, then is 12 weeks from 10 years.

Formula and 2026-27 method
Gross redundancy pay = NES weeks for completed service × weekly base pay.
The calculation is versioned for the Australian 2026-27 financial year. The result panel keeps the period and source status visible so a value is not detached from the rules that produced it.
To compare this result with another relevant method, open the Australian Annual Leave Calculator. Estimate Australian annual leave accrual from ordinary weekly hours and value the balance at entered base pay with optional leave loading.
Worked Australian example
Five completed years but under six maps to 10 weeks; at AUD 1,800 weekly base pay, the modeled gross amount is AUD 18,000.
Working precision is retained through the method. Displayed currency is rounded only at the final output unless the ATO payroll schedule itself requires whole-dollar rounding.
How to interpret the result
Main boundary: Eligibility exceptions, industry schemes, transfers, age, notice, tax, awards and enterprise agreements can change the actual result.
Keep gross pay, tax liability, payroll withholding, Medicare, study-loan repayments, super and employment entitlements separate. They answer different questions even when they appear on the same payslip.
What this CalculatorGeek version makes explicit
- The exact Australian financial year and effective date.
- The difference between annual tax liability and pay-run withholding where relevant.
- Super paid on top versus included in a package where relevant.
- Formula components, rounding, limitations and source links beside the result.
- Distinct next-step calculators instead of duplicate thin pages for weekly, fortnightly and take-home wording.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Australian Redundancy Pay Calculator current?

Is this the same as my payslip or tax return?
Not automatically. Eligibility exceptions, industry schemes, transfers, age, notice, tax, awards and enterprise agreements can change the actual result.
Can I change the result to another currency?
No. Statutory Australian inputs and results stay in AUD so exchange-rate conversion cannot be mistaken for an Australian tax calculation.

Yes. The formula, worked example, calculation bridge, model version and primary sources are visible on the page.
