Michigan Tax Calculator
Michigan applies a single flat rate to all taxable income at the state level. Some Michigan cities — including Detroit — layer their own additional local income tax on top for both residents and people who work in the city without living there. Michigan does not tax Social Security benefits. This calculator applies the statewide flat rate to your entered income.

- The calculator applies the statewide flat rate; any city tax would be added separately based on where you live or work.
