About Pennsylvania SUI Rates

Pennsylvania employers pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI/SUTA) taxes on the first $10,000of each employee's wages per year. New employers start at a rate of 3.75% before experience rating applies. Once rated, Pennsylvania SUI rates range from 0.67% to 10.03%.

SUI rates are set annually by Pennsylvania Office of Unemployment Compensationbased 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.
