Unemployment Insurance
The unemployment insurance tax rate for new North Dakota employers in Calendar Year 2019 is 1.21 percent, except in construction industries with North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 23 codes, which are required to pay a tax rate of 9.75 percent. New employer rates apply until the employer has been in business long enough (chargeable with benefits throughout the 12 consecutive-month period ending September 30 of the preceding year for nonconstruction and the 24 consecutive-month period ending September 30 of the preceding year for construction) to qualify for an experience rating.
North Dakota's maximum taxable wage base in 2019 was $36,400. The minimum tax rate is 0.15 percent and the maximum tax rate is 9.75 percent. Federal law mandates that states allow nonprofit and government organizations, as well as federally recognized Indian tribes and entities wholly owned by those tribes, the option to finance benefit costs. Benefits may be financed by the payment of contributions on the same basis as other employers (tax-rated method) or by reimbursing the fund only for benefit costs charged against their account (reimbursement method).
