City Law Solicitor is a consumer legal information site: free calculators and plain-English guides for the UK and Ireland.
What we publish
- Statutory redundancy estimators (UK & Ireland)
- Stamp duty / SDLT estimators (England & NI + Ireland)
- Guides that explain the formulas and link to official sources
What we are not
We are not a law firm lead-gen page and we do not offer personal legal advice through this website. For advice on your situation, instruct a qualified solicitor.
How we stay accurate
Rate tables are versioned with a last-verified date on each tool. We cite GOV.UK, HMRC, Acas, Revenue.ie, Citizens Information and MyWelfare.
Practical next steps
Write down your inputs, run an estimate on this site, then immediately cross-check the official calculator for your jurisdiction. Save PDFs or screenshots of both results with the date visible. If you speak to HR or a solicitor, share the input list — not only the headline number — so they can reproduce the math.
Revisit this page after any April employment-limits update or budget that changes tax bands. We publish a rates-verified date on the calculator tools; guides can lag by days or weeks after a surprise fiscal announcement.
Get personalised help when
- You are being asked to sign a settlement agreement under time pressure.
- Selection for redundancy may involve discrimination or whistleblowing issues.
