2008 California Unemployment Employer Tax Rate and Wage Base
The Employer Tax Rate for California Unemployment varies by company. Refer to
the Notice of Contribution Rates (Form DE2088) you receive from the California
Employment Development Department. To calculate the SUI rate, take your
Unemployment Insurance (UI) Contribution and add your Employment Training Tax
rate. Take the answer (a percent), change it to decimal form, and put the
result in the EMPLOYER TAX RATE field under the column UNEMPLOYMENT. (For
example, if your UI Contribution is 3.4% and your Employment Training Tax is
0.1%, your combined rate is 3.5%, and you enter .03500 in the Employer Rate
field.) The Unemployment Wage Base remains at $7000.
