Rate Overview
Unemployment/Disability Rates in New Jersey are assigned on a fiscal year basis (i.e. July 1st to June 30).  All new employers (except successors) are assigned new employer rates for the first three calendar years after which a calculated rate is assigned based on employment experience. 

This page provides an explanation of how rates are calculated and a listing of the new employer rates for the current and the previous 4 years.
