Kresloff Company has only two employees and is located in a state that has set an unemployment tax for the company of 4.8 percent on the first $12,000 of each employees earnings. Both employees are paid the same amount each week ($900) and have earned $11,500 up to this weeks pay. The unemployment taxes that the company must pay for this weeks pay would be $48. FUTA tax (both over $7,000) = $0.00 SUTA tax ($1,000 0.048) = $48.00 ($500 of each employees pay is under the state taxable limit of $12,000)
