IL UI Contribution
Illinois unemployment insurance is employer-paid. The exact 2026 contribution depends on the employer's IDES annual contribution-rate notice, state experience factor, and 2026 taxable wage base, so the calculator must capture the employer's assigned Illinois UI rate for an exact amount.

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: EmployerAssignedRatePercent, EmployerTaxableWageBase.
