Jean Michaud pays his two employees $900 and $1,200 per week. Assume a state unemployment tax rate of 5.7% and a federal unemployment tax rate of 0.6%. What state and federal unemployment taxes will Jean pay at the end of quarter 1 and quarter 2

The quarter has 3 months so all 15 weeks shall have following taxes:

Employee Wages Exempt under FUTA or SUTA

Employee 1  

Wages = 15 week x 900 = 13.500  

Exempt under FUTA or SUTA = 13,500 - 7,000 = 6.500

Employee 2  

Wages = 15 week x 1200 = 18.000  

Exempt under FUTA or SUTA = 18.000 - 7,000= 11000

From the above table.

The JM pays employee 1: 900 and employee 2: 1,200. For 15 weeks they were paid,

Employee I is paid, 900 x 15 weeks

= 13,500

Employee 2 is paid, 1200 x 15 weeks

= I 8,000

For employee 1,

= 13,500 - 7,000

Here, SUTA tax is 5.4% on the first 7,000 the employer pays an employee = 6500

For employee 2,

=18,000 - 7000

Here, the SUTA tax is 5.4% on the first 7000 the employer pays an employee =11000

The taxable wages are obtained by deducting.

= (13,500 +18000) - (6,500 +11,000)  

= 31500 - 17500

= 14000

The SUTA and FUTA taxes that JM pays at the end of quarter 1 and 2 is, SUTA,

0.057 x 14,000 = $798

FUTA.

0.008 x 14000

= $112

Hence. The SUTA and FUTA taxes paid are $798 and $112 respectively.
