About Florida SUI Rates
Florida employers pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI/SUTA) taxes on the first $7,000of each employee's wages per year. New employers start at a rate of 2.70% before experience rating applies. Once rated, Florida SUI rates range from 0.10% to 5.40%.
SUI rates are set annually by Florida Department of Revenuebased 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.
