The current futa tax rate is 0.8%, and the suta tax rate is 5.4%. both taxes are applied to the first $7,100 of an employee's pay. assume that an employee earned total wages of $9,100. what is the amount of total unemployment taxes the employer must pay on this employee's wages?

The given values in the problem are enumerated below:

futa tax rate = 0.8%

suta tax rate = 5.4 %

Employee's fee = $7,100

Amount taxes = $7100 * (0.008+0.054) = $440.2
