New Jersey Payroll Tax FAQs
What Are the New Jersey State Payroll Taxes?
New Jersey manages state payroll taxes through the NJ Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services.
- Income Taxes: New Jersey has a progressive income tax depending on the employee’s filing status and income level, up to 11.8%. Employers with employees working or living in Newark and Jersey City must register with those cities and also pay a 1% employer tax.
- Unemployment Insurance (UI): Employers and employees contribute to unemployment insurance with rates ranging from 0.4% to 5.4%. New employers pay a flat rate of 2.68%.
