Why a separate calculator
There is no federal program
Fourteen jurisdictions each run their own scheme, with their own rate, split, wage cap and small-employer exemption. Nothing at the federal level ties them together.
Each agency covers only itself
Every state publishes a calculator for its own program. An employer with staff in four states runs four tools and adds the results up by hand.
The rules do not match
District of Columbia is employer-funded, New York is employee-funded, Washington splits 28.57/71.43. Small-employer headcount is national in some states and in-state in others. Those details are where the errors live.
