SUI / SUTA Rate Data — 2026
South Dakota employers pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI/SUTA) taxes on the first $15,000of each employee's wages per year. New employers start at a rate of 1.2% before experience rating applies. Once rated, South Dakota SUI rates range from 0.0% to 9.35%.
SUI rates are set annually by South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulationbased 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.
