Understanding Michigan's Paycheck Taxes

Michigan simplifies state taxes with a flat-rate system. Your paycheck will have deductions for federal taxes, FICA, and Michigan's state income tax.

Michigan's Flat Income Tax

Unlike states with progressive tax brackets, Michigan applies a single flat tax rate to all income. For 2024, the state income tax rate is **4.25%**. Before this rate is applied, your income is reduced by personal exemptions, which lowers the amount of tax you owe.

Michigan Personal Exemptions

For the 2024 tax year, each Michigan personal exemption you claim reduces your annual taxable income by **$5,400**. You can typically claim exemptions for yourself, your spouse, and any dependents.

Note on Local Taxes: Our calculator does not include local city income taxes. Several Michigan cities, including Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing, levy their own income tax. If you work in one of these cities, your actual take-home pay will be lower than this state-level estimate.
