Michigan uses a single flat 4.25% income tax rate, so every wage earner pays the same marginal rate on taxable income. The wrinkle is local tax: roughly two dozen Michigan cities — including Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing — add a municipal income tax that can be a meaningful slice of your check. The calculator below applies the 4.25% state rate alongside federal tax and FICA; if you live or work in a city with its own income tax, your actual take-home will be a bit lower.

How take-home pay works in Michigan

Your paycheck starts with your gross pay. From there, the federal government takes income tax based on 2025 marginal brackets and your filing status, plus FICA — Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, with an extra 0.9% on high earners).

Michigan levies a flat state income tax of 4.25% on all wage income. On top of the state rate, many Michigan cities impose their own local income tax — Detroit, for example, charges a separate municipal income tax on residents and people who work in the city. Our estimate applies the 4.25% state rate; local city tax is not included.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Michigan state income tax rate in 2025?
Michigan applies a flat 4.25% income tax to all taxable wage income, regardless of how much you earn. The calculator above uses this rate on top of federal income tax and FICA.
Does Detroit have its own income tax?
Yes. Detroit charges a city income tax in addition to the state 4.25% — generally a higher rate for residents and a lower rate for non-residents who work in the city. This local tax is separate from the state estimate shown here.
Which Michigan cities have a local income tax?
About two dozen do, including Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Flint, and Saginaw. If your city is on that list, expect a small additional withholding beyond the flat 4.25% state tax.
Does Michigan have a state income tax?
Yes. Michigan taxes wage income (Flat 4.25%). The calculator above includes it in your estimate.
How is my take-home pay calculated?
We start from your gross pay, then subtract federal income tax (2025 marginal brackets), Social Security (6.2% up to the $176,100 wage base), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% over $200k), and your state income tax. Any 401(k) and pre-tax deductions are removed before income tax is figured.
Which states have no income tax?
Nine states have no state income tax on wages: Texas, Florida, Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming, Tennessee, and New Hampshire. Living there usually means a bigger paycheck.
Is this exact?
It is a solid estimate using 2025 federal and state rates and standard deductions. It does not capture local/city taxes, credits, or unusual situations. Treat it as a ballpark — not professional tax advice.
What is FICA?
FICA is the combination of Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Together they total 7.65% of most wages (6.2% Social Security up to the wage base, plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages).
