Line Who pays Rate Wage base
DE Employer Paid Leave
Delaware Paid Leave contributions began in 2025 and are generally funded at less than 1% of wages. Employers may require employees to contribute up to half the cost, and required coverage depends on employer size and leave category, so this line still requires employer-plan-specific contribution inputs.

Annualized Delaware withholding brackets from the current state-tax model.
Employee Bracket or formula based No cap
DE UI Contribution
Delaware unemployment insurance is employer-paid. The exact contribution depends on the employer's assigned state unemployment rate notice and the current taxable wage base for the selected tax year, so this line remains calculator-only until employer-specific rate input is captured.

Some state or local tax rules for this jurisdiction are still partial and may require user-entered rates or manual review. Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals. Some state-specific lines need additional answers before the calculator can resolve all applicable rates: EmployerProgramRatePercent, EmployeeContributionSharePercent.
