Redundancy pay: quick answers
How is statutory redundancy calculated in Ireland?
Two weeks’ gross pay for every year of continuous service (part-years count pro-rata), plus one extra week’s pay. The weekly pay used in the calculation is capped at €600, even if you earn more.
Who qualifies for statutory redundancy?
Employees with at least 104 weeks (2 years) of continuous service with the employer, whose job ceases to exist. Notice pay and unused annual leave are owed regardless of service length.
Is redundancy pay taxable in Ireland?
Statutory redundancy is completely tax-free. Additional ex-gratia amounts from your employer may be partly taxable — separate exemptions apply to those.
What if I’m paid monthly?
Divide your gross monthly salary by 4.33 to get your weekly pay. If your hours or pay vary, an average of the last 52 weeks worked is used.
Your next 90 days matter more than the lump sum
The redundancy payment buys you time — what decides the outcome is how fast your applications turn into interviews. Ai-Vitae rewrites your CV against each real job advert you apply for, writes the cover letter to match, and lets you rehearse the interview out loud before you sit it. Pay once per document — never a subscription.
