Illinois

Illinois employers pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI/SUTA) taxes on the first $13,590of each employee's wages per year. New employers start at a rate of 3.50% before experience rating applies. Once rated, Illinois SUI rates range from 0.25% to 7.50%.

SUI rates are set annually by Illinois Department of Employment Securitybased on each employer's experience rating — the ratio of benefits charged to the employer's account relative to taxable wages paid. Errors in SUI rate notices are common; Kreto verifies your assigned rate against payroll data and flags discrepancies before protest deadlines pass.
