IA UI Contribution
Iowa unemployment insurance is employer-paid. For 2026, new non-construction employers are assigned 1.00% on the first $20,400 of wages per employee under Table D; new construction employers are assigned 5.40%, so industry-specific questions are still needed for exact construction employer totals.

Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals.
