Montana

Montana employers pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI/SUTA) taxes on the first $43,000of each employee's wages per year. New employers start at a rate of 1.10% before experience rating applies. Once rated, Montana SUI rates range from 0.00% to 6.30%.

SUI rates are set annually by Montana Department of Labor and Industrybased 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.
