You get so many weeks pay according to how long you've been there. You need to look at your contract and/or the company's redundancy policy to see the details. That's the minimum by law.

Here are details of Statutory redundancy. You will get this unless the employer has a more generous scheme. I don't think they will worry too much about paying more generously than they need to as I doubt it will make much difference in terms of publicity

The problem is that the statutory scheme caps the weekly pay at a hideously low figure - not too much above the figure for average weekly earnings. A decent company will not cap the weekly figure but will pay against the employees actual weekly earnings.
In the old days, a 'good' scheme paid 4x weekly earnings for each full year of employement - with a minimum of 8 weeks and a cap at around one year's pay. You can probably half that maximum these days.
