Frequently asked questions
Quick answers — then start the calculator when you are ready.
In most cases, no. Your employer is required to contribute to your legal costs when you sign a settlement agreement. An independent solicitor you instruct will usually seek to have your employer cover the full cost — so in the majority of cases there is nothing for you to pay.
Settlement amounts vary widely depending on your salary, length of service, and the strength of any legal claims. A common starting point is 2–3 months' salary as compensation, plus your notice period pay. Use our free calculator above for a personalised instant estimate.
Yes. Most initial offers are starting points. With proper legal advice you can negotiate the financial terms, the reference wording, garden leave, restrictive covenants, and more. A solicitor you instruct can negotiate on your behalf.
Many cases are resolved within 1–5 working days once both parties have agreed the terms. Same-day turnaround is available for urgent cases. The agreement must be reviewed and signed off by a qualified solicitor instructed by you.
The first £30,000 of a termination payment under a settlement agreement is generally exempt from income tax and National Insurance contributions. Payments above this amount are taxable. Your instructed solicitor can advise on structuring the agreement to maximise the tax-free portion where appropriate.
No — signing is never compulsory. However, if you refuse, your employer may still be entitled to follow a dismissal or redundancy process. Take time to review every offer carefully before deciding whether to accept, negotiate, or decline — ideally with an independent solicitor.
