Michigan's flat income tax

Michigan taxes all taxable income at the same 4.25% rate. Because the rate doesn't rise with income, your state tax grows in a straight line with your pay. Your effective state rate is still lower than 4.25% because of deductions and exemptions.

Some Michigan cities and counties add their own income tax. Resident rates included in the calculator:

  • Detroit: 2.4% of wages
  • Grand Rapids: 1.5% of wages
  • Lansing: 1% of wages
  • Flint: 1% of wages
