Depending on where you live each employer has to pay a certain percentage of your gross pay for unemployment.
Find out what that percentage is and multiply it to your total gross pay and that will be the amount.
They usually pay this to the state once each quarter.
In 2003 in Texas, the "minimum tax" paid by nearly 278,000 employers was 0.67 percent of the first $9,000 of an employee's wages, or $60.30 per worker. This year's minimum tax rate is only 0.26 percent, or $23.40 a head.
Texas will not have to pay Federal taxes until 2011, currently is being paid thru a statewide Bond issue.
There is both a federal and a state unemployment tax in Texas that employers pay.

Part 1 asks if the employer also has paid state unemployment tax, in addition to FUTA. Part 2 determines the employer's FUTA tax on the total taxable FUTA wages (up to $7,000 per employee) at .8 percent (.008).

Part 4 determines if the employer has a balance due or an overpayment on the FUTA already paid for the year.
