This estimator calculates federal employer payroll taxes: FICA (Social Security at 6.2% up to $184,500 and Medicare at 1.45%) plus FUTA (0.6% on the first $7,000 per employee after state credits). It assumes wages are distributed evenly across employees—actual taxes may vary based on individual wage levels.

Note: This estimate does not include State Unemployment Tax (SUTA), which varies by state (typically 0.5% to 5%+ on wages up to state-specific limits). Your actual employer tax burden will be higher when SUTA is included. Consult your payroll provider or accountant for precise calculations.
