How each Colorado line is calculated

Colorado employee paystubs in this app automatically show Colorado State Income Tax and CO FAMLI as separate employee deduction lines. Colorado unemployment premiums and solvency-related charges are employer-side and are not shown as employee deduction rows.

Line Who pays Rate Wage base
CO Employer FAMLI
For employers with 10 or more employees nationwide, the standard Colorado FAMLI employer share is 0.45% of wages up to the Social Security wage base for 2026. Employers with fewer than 10 employees are generally not required to pay the employer share.
 Employer 0.45% $184,500
CO FAMLI
Employee share of Colorado FAMLI premiums at 0.45% of wages up to the Social Security wage base for 2026.
 Employee 0.45% $184,500
CO State Income Tax
Flat 4.40% Colorado state withholding from the current state-tax model.
 Employee 4.4% No cap
CO UI Premium
Colorado 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.
 Employer User supplied No cap

Official sources

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.
