Michigan applies a flat state income tax of 4.25% to taxable income across the board. It has no standard deduction; instead a per-person exemption reduces income for the filer, spouse and each dependent before the rate applies. The wrinkle in Michigan is local: about two dozen cities levy their own income tax, with Detroit the highest and most other cities charging a lower resident rate, so where you work and live can add a city tax on top of the 4.25% state rate. There are no employee-paid disability or paid-leave premiums. This page serves Michigan workers comparing take-home; the tables below show pay across salary levels for 2026 after federal tax, FICA and the 4.25% state rate.

Frequently asked questions
How is take-home pay calculated in Michigan?
We start with your gross salary and subtract the 2026 federal standard deduction for your filing status, then apply the federal tax brackets to what is left. FICA, the Social Security and Medicare tax, is added on the gross. On top of that comes the Michigan state layer, using Michigan's own brackets or flat rate and its deductions. The result is your estimated annual tax liability, which we divide across your pay periods to show weekly, biweekly, and monthly figures.
Does Michigan tax bonuses differently?
A bonus is withheld using supplemental wage rules, which can differ from your regular paycheck. See the Michigan bonus tax page for how the federal flat rate and the state layer apply.
Are these numbers withholding or final tax?
These are an annual tax-liability estimate, not the exact withholding from any one paycheck. The per-paycheck columns are the annual figure divided by the number of pay periods. Your employer's real withholding uses IRS payroll tables and can differ slightly, then reconciles when you file your return.
