    Tax code is strange, why isn't it 1250l?
    £492.50 at 0%
    £3674 at 20%
    £11,333.50 at 40%
    And 12% on all of it for National Insurance.

    Regarding the NI the threshold and upper earnings limit are missing.
    There is nothing to pay for earnings below £719 a month, then the 12% is deducted, but when monthly earnings reach £4167 this reduces to 2%

    Regarding tax may well be about right but best to check if there are separate gross and taxable gross figures, tax basis and previous taxable gross/tax paid.  Is the redundancy pay the total figure or the excess on which tax is due?

    Incorrect.

    One needs to know what earnings the op has to date to determine any of the rates applied - if the salary is £4167 per month as indicated, this equates to £50000 per annum and all of the payment , with the exception of the redundancy element, would be at 40% rate. NIC would be at 2% rate only. 

    I presume that that the three months salary would be in addition to the normal monthly salary.
