Add or update Massachusetts SUI rates

For OnPay to effectively calculate state tax contributions, you'll need to ensure the tax rates entered in Onpay are correct for each state where your company has a tax obligations. For example, if you operate in both Massachusetts and Connecticut, you must keep payroll tax information up-to-date for each (and every) state where you pay employees.

  • Your Massachusetts WTFP Rate 
  • Your Massachusetts EMAC Rate
