Since the SUTA rates changes are made at the end of each year and there is much discussion about changes to the FUTA rate, the available 2017 rates were used for FUTA and SUTA. Note: For this textbook edition the rate 0.6% was used for the FUTA tax rate for employers. Example 5-10 Applebaum Security Company is located in State H, which enables employers to reduce their contribution rates under the experience-rating system. From 2004 to 2013, inclusive, the company's total contributions to state unemployment compensation amounted to $18,135. For the calendar years 2014 to 2017, inclusive, the contribution rate for Applebaum was 3.7%. The contributions of each employer are credited to an account maintained by the State Unemployment Compensation Commission. This account is credited with contributions paid into the account by the employer and is charged with unemployment benefits that are paid from the account. Starting January 1, 2018, the contributions rate for all employers in State H will be based on the following tax-rate schedule:
| Reserve Ratio | Contribution Rate | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Contributions falling below benefits paid | 7.0% | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
