                                              UNEMPLOYMENT TAX RATE
A tax rate is composed of the Chargeable Benefits Component (CBC), the Account Building Component (ABC), and the 
Nonchargeable Benefits (NBC).  All rates are figured using the following calculations as provided by Section 19(a)(1) of the MES Act.
              Chargeable Benefits Component (CBC):                                 Account Building Component (ABC):
                 60 months of benefit charges = CBC                           (Required Reserve minus Actual Reserve) X 0.50 = ABC
                 60 months of taxable payroll                                               12 months of total payroll
            The result is rounded up to the next higher 0.1%             The result is rounded up to the next higher 0.1%
            The maximum value for the CBC is 6.3%                        The maximum value for the ABC is 3.0%
Nonchargeable Benefits Component (NBC): 
If there were Benefit Charges in any of the 5 years shown in question 5b of this form, the NBC is 1.0%.  If the CBC was equal to 
0.1%, the NBC is 0.5%.  If there were no Benefit Charges for those 5 years, the NBC is 0.1%.  If there were no Benefit Charges for 
more than 5 years, the NBC may be as low as 0.06%.  See Section 19(5) of the MES Act.

Obligation Assessment (OA):
Section 26a of the MES Act granted the State of Michigan the authority to issue bonds to reduce or eliminate Federal debt incurred by 
the Unemployment Insurance Agency Trust Fund.  On December 29, 2011, the State of Michigan through the Michigan Finance 
Authority, issued $3,320,951,556.55 in bonds and retired the debt and accrued interest.  The Obligation Assessment (OA) represents 
the amount required by law to repay the bonds.  The OA is levied against all contributing employers and is part of the annual tax rate; 
however, the OA is not credited to the employer’s experience account.  The OA is added to the Total Tax Rate.  See Fact Sheet #146 
for further information.  For tax rate year 2011 only there was no OA in effect, but there was a solvency rate for employers with a 
negative reserve balance.  (If applicable, see Form UIA 1771 for the year 2011 to determine if , those rates apply to your account.)

Non-Reporting Penalty:
If any or all quarterly tax reports required for the computation of a tax rate are missing, a non-reporting penalty of 3% is added to the 
Total Tax Rate in accordance with section 18(2) of the MES Act.

Total Tax Rate:  The total rate is calculated by adding the three tax components (CBC + ABC + NBC) plus the OA, and non-reporting 
penalty, (add your 2011 solvency rate) if applicable.
