The tax rates vary depending on the employer’s experience with the unemployment insurance (contributions paid and benefits charged). Beginning in 2000 there are two tax rate schedules, Positive Balance and Negative Balance. Tax rate schedules range from 0.49% to 1.39% for Positive balance accounts and 6.49% to 10.09% for Negative balance accounts.

Unemployment Insurance Tax Rates are recalculated each year after September and are effective on January 1.
