Understanding Michigan Taxes
A brief overview of taxes affecting your paycheck in Michigan.
Michigan State Income Tax
Michigan has a flat state income tax rate. As of the latest update, the rate is 4.25%. Some cities in Michigan also levy local income taxes, which this calculator will aim to include based on your specific work location (feature coming soon).
Federal Income Tax
Your federal income tax is determined by your gross income, filing status (Single, Married Filing Jointly, etc.), and any allowances claimed on your W-4 form. Federal taxes are progressive, meaning higher incomes are taxed at higher rates.
FICA Taxes (Social Security and Medicare)
FICA taxes include Social Security (6.2% of income up to a certain limit) and Medicare (1.45% of all income). Employers match these contributions. High earners may be subject to an additional Medicare tax.
