How each Georgia line is calculated
Georgia employee paystubs in this app automatically show a single Georgia State Income Tax line. Georgia unemployment insurance is employer-paid and belongs on the calculator side rather than the employee paystub.
| Line | Who pays | Rate | Wage base |
|---|---|---|---|
|
GA State Income Tax
Georgia withholding follows the current Georgia employer tax guide and graduated withholding tables. The current matrix still uses a flat 5.49% approximation until the full Georgia annualized withholding table is wired into the calculator.
|
Employee | 5.49% | No cap |
|
GA UI Tax
Georgia unemployment insurance is employer-paid. New or newly covered employers are assigned a total 2.70% rate on the first $9,500 of wages per employee, while experienced employers move to their annually assigned GDOL contribution rate.

Employer | 2.7% | $9,500 |
Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals.
