How Michigan paycheck works — complete guide

Michigan flat income tax — 4.25% on all income

Michigan taxes personal income at a flat rate of 4.25% on all taxable income. This rate applies equally regardless of how much you earn. Michigan also allows a personal exemption of $5,400 (2026) per taxpayer and dependent, which reduces your taxable income before the 4.25% is applied.

A worker earning $75,000/year in Michigan pays approximately $2,964 in state income tax (after the $5,400 exemption). Take-home is approximately $55,800 per year after all federal and state deductions. Many Michigan cities including Detroit also levy local income taxes of 1–2.4%.

Michigan personal exemption explained

Michigan allows a $5,400 personal exemption per person (2026). This means the first $5,400 of your income is not subject to the 4.25% state tax. For a single filer earning $75,000, taxable state income = $75,000 - $5,400 = $69,600, taxed at 4.25% = $2,958.

Additional exemptions of $5,400 are available for each dependent. Married filers get a $10,800 combined exemption. This is separate from the federal standard deduction.
