Unemployment benefits are paid by the state which in turn collects its funds from the business. The employee does not pay into the fund.

How do you find out how much your employer paid in to unemployment for you?

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.

How is FUTA calculated?

FUTA, or the Federal Unemployment Tax Act tax, is calculated based on a percentage of the first $7,000 of each employee's wages.

Employers are responsible for paying this tax, which funds unemployment benefits at the federal level. It's important to note that FUTA is not withheld from employee wages.
