State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) is a nationwide program created to provide partial wage replacement to unemployed workers while they look for employment. SUI is also called Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Unemployment Compensation (UC). Employers finance the program through the SUI tax.
How do I find my SUI tax rate?
The state agency responsible for SUI will inform you about your tax rate yearly. Your SUI tax rate is based on your experience.
If you are a new employer, you are assigned a new employer rate until you have filed unemployment taxes for a period of time. This period of time varies by state. We list the SUI rate, when possible, for new employers in your state at the bottom of the Company State Tax Information page in Help for New Employers.
After the designated period of time, you are assigned an experience rate, which might be higher or lower than the new employer rate, depending on your reserve account balance.
The less unemployment that your workers experience, the lower your tax rate will be.

How will I know if my SUI tax rate changes?
You'll get a notice from the state If your tax rate changes. When you get that notice, refer to it when you enter or change your rate in Intuit Online Payroll.

- Scroll down to the State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) Setup section.
- Click Change or add new rate.CA
- Enter your new rate as a percentage from the notice you received from your state. For example, enter 3.4% (not .034).CA

When the tax agency notifies you that you have a new rate, or if you discover that a rate you've been using is incorrect, enter the new rate and effective date, but do not delete the previous rate. It's part of your historical records. - Enter the Effective Date from the notice you received from your state.
- Click OK.
If you have questions about your rate, contact the state agency responsible for SUI. Payroll resources has links to the web sites of state agencies.
