How Michigan taxes your income
Michigan taxes income at a single rate of 4.25%. Because there is one rate, your state effective rate stays close to 4.25% as income rises once deductions are used up.
We subtract an estimated $5,900 (the state standard deduction plus any dollar-amount personal exemption) from your income before applying the Michigan brackets.
Not modelled: personal tax credits, most income-based phase-outs, deductibility of federal tax where a state allows it, local income taxes (for example city or county taxes), and state payroll taxes such as disability or family-leave contributions.
