Michigan income tax, explained
Michigan has a flat income tax of 4.25% for 2026. It has no standard deduction; instead it grants a personal exemption of $5,900 per person (2026) for you, a spouse, and dependents.
Note that about two dozen Michigan cities — including Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing — levy their own local income tax on top of the state rate. This estimate covers the 4.25% state rate only; if you live or work in one of those cities your take-home will be lower.

Side-by-side comparisons
Estimate only — not tax advice. This calculator gives an approximate take-home figure based on 2026 federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare (FICA), and, where shown, state income tax. It does not account for tax credits (such as the Child Tax Credit or EITC), the Alternative Minimum Tax, preferential capital-gains rates, or itemized deductions beyond the standard deduction. Your actual paycheck may differ. Consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
