Michigan Paycheck Calculator2026
Estimate your Michigan take-home pay after federal, state, and FICA taxes.
Michigan applies a flat 4.25% income tax to your wages after a per-exemption allowance. The wrinkle is local: two dozen Michigan cities, Detroit among them, levy their own city income tax that's withheld separately from the state's share.
Enter your hourly or salary pay below and the calculator gives you your Michigan take-home pay, with federal tax, FICA, and the state's flat income tax already taken out at 2026 rates.
How Michigan paycheck tax works
Michigan has a flat income tax rate of 4.25% for 2026. Withholding subtracts a personal/dependency exemption of $5,900 per exemption claimed on Form MI-W4. Some Michigan cities (such as Detroit and Grand Rapids) levy their own city income tax withheld separately.
Local tax can apply on top of the state's share. 24 Michigan cities levy their own city income tax (Detroit is the largest), withheld separately from the 4.25% state tax.
The calculator annualizes your pay and applies Michigan's 2026 flat-rate withholding on top of federal income tax and FICA. Treat the result as a close estimate; your employer may withhold from per-period tables that differ slightly. Local city, county, or school-district taxes aren't included in this figure.
