Worked out from Employment Rights Act 1996, section 162 (amount of a redundancy payment) and 4 other sources.

Great Britain figures. Northern Ireland has its own limit on a week’s pay and its own orders.

An estimate of the statutory minimum only. It does not replace your employer’s official calculation, a redundancy notice or a settlement agreement, and it takes no account of enhanced contractual redundancy terms, disputed continuous service or pay owed in lieu of notice. Check the figure with your employer, Acas or an employment adviser before relying on it.

How this is worked out

6 steps

8 complete years of service; 8 counted (the last 20 at most).
Aged 41 or over: 4 year(s) x 1.5 week(s) = 6 weeks
Aged 22 to 40: 4 year(s) x 1 week(s) = 4 weeks
Total entitlement = 10 weeks' pay.
A week's pay is £500, below the £751 statutory limit.
Statutory redundancy pay = 10 x £500 = £5000.
