Colorado FAMLI on your pay stub
FAMLI is Colorado's paid family and medical leave insurance. The 2026 premium is 0.88% of wages, and employers may take up to half from your pay — 0.44%, on wages up to $184,500 a year. On a $60,000 salary that's $10.15 every two weeks, $264 a year.
How to check the FAMLI line
- Take your wages for the period (the pay Social Security is figured on).
- Multiply by 0.0044 — $4.40 per $1,000.
- It stops once your wages for the year pass $184,500.
Some employers pay the employee share themselves and deduct nothing, so a lower or $0 FAMLI line can be correct. Employers with fewer than 10 employees don't pay their own half, but can still take yours. The premium falls to 0.86% from January 1, 2027.
