How Michigan taxes your income in 2026

Michigan taxes all income at a flat 4.25%. The rate briefly dropped to 4.05% in 2023 under a revenue-trigger formula but reverted to 4.25% from 2024 onward. Instead of a standard deduction, Michigan provides a personal exemption of $5,900 per person ($11,800 for joint filers) — relatively generous compared with other exemption-based states.

City income taxes and retirement rules

About 24 Michigan cities levy their own income taxes: Detroit charges 2.4% for residents (1.2% for nonresidents who work there), while Grand Rapids, Lansing, Flint and others are typically around 1% for residents and 0.5% for nonresidents. Social Security benefits are fully exempt from Michigan tax, and retirement income is deductible under age-based tiers — for most current retirees, private and public pension income is largely or fully deductible.

What this calculator includes (and excludes)

This estimate covers federal income tax, FICA, and Michigan's 4.25% state tax net of the $5,900 personal exemption. It does not include city income taxes (Detroit 2.4% and others), retirement-income deductions, itemized deductions, or credits such as the Michigan homestead property tax credit. Figures are estimates for planning purposes, not tax advice.
