# [State Unemployment Insurance Taxable Wage Base Chart Updated for 2025](https://blogs.payroll.org/pay-news-now/state-unemployment-insurance-taxable-wage-base-chart-updated-for-2025)

An updated chart of [**State Taxable Wage Bases for 2022 to 2025**](https://payroll.org/compliance/compliance-overview/state-unemployment-wage-bases) (as of January 27, 2025) may be downloaded from the PayrollOrg website. To access the chart from the [**PayrollOrg home page**](http://www.payroll.org/) select “Compliance” and then “State Unemployment Wage Bases” under “Overview.”

State unemployment insurance taxes are based on a percentage of the taxable wages an employer pays. The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) requires that each state's taxable wage base must at least equal the FUTA wage base of $7,000 per employee, although most states' wage bases exceed the required amount. Some states apply various formulas to determine the taxable wage base, others use a percentage of the state's average annual wage, and many simply follow the FUTA wage base.
