How each Tennessee line is calculated
Tennessee has no wage withholding for employee paystubs in this app, so no TN state income tax deduction line is emitted. Tennessee unemployment insurance is employer-paid and is exposed only on the calculator side of the matrix.
| Line | Who pays | Rate | Wage base |
|---|---|---|---|
|
TN UI
Tennessee unemployment insurance is employer-paid. A common new-employer reference rate is 2.7% on the first $7,000 of wages per employee, while established employers transition to the assigned Tennessee UI contribution rate shown on their annual notice.

Employer | 2.7% | $7,000 |
Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals.
