SUI / SUTA Rate Data — 2026
Source: Texas Workforce Commission
Texas employers pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI/SUTA) taxes on the first $9,000of each employee's wages per year. New employers start at a rate of 2.7% before experience rating applies. Once rated, Texas SUI rates range from 0.23% to 6.23%.
SUI rates are set annually by Texas Workforce Commissionbased 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.
