Michigan Take-Home Pay Overview

Michigan has a flat state income tax rate of 4.25%, but like Indiana, many of Michigan's cities charge their own local income taxes. Detroit charges 2.4% for residents (1.2% for non-residents who work in Detroit), Grand Rapids charges 1.5%, Lansing charges 1%, and several other cities have rates of 1-2%. For Detroit residents, the combined state and city rate is 6.65% — one of the higher effective rates in the Midwest. Michigan cities without local taxes include Ann Arbor, Sterling Heights, and most suburban communities. Michigan's flat rate is moderate compared to Wisconsin (up to 7.65%) and Minnesota (up to 9.85%), making it competitive among Great Lakes states for workers outside major cities.
