LA UI Contribution
Louisiana unemployment insurance is employer-paid. The exact contribution depends on the employer's assigned LWC unemployment tax rate and the current Louisiana taxable wage base, so the calculator should ask for the employer's current Louisiana UI rate notice and wage base to produce an exact total.
Employer User supplied No cap
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.
