How Michigan Taxes Affect Your Paycheck
Michigan uses a flat 4.25% state income tax, so state withholding is generally straightforward for most wage earners.
Some Michigan cities also levy local income taxes. For example, Detroit has a 2.4% resident tax and Grand Rapids has a 1.5% resident tax, which can materially change net pay.
If you live or work in a city with local tax, your paycheck may include both state and local withholding. Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) and HSA contributions can still reduce taxable wages.

Other Michigan Payroll Taxes
Michigan does not run a broad employee-paid state disability payroll tax. The biggest paycheck variable beyond federal taxes is whether city income tax withholding applies.
Federal Payroll Taxes Still Apply
No matter which state you live in, paychecks include federal income tax withholding plus FICA taxes. For most workers in 2026, FICA equals 6.2% Social Security (up to the wage base) and 1.45% Medicare on all wages.
Higher earners may also pay Additional Medicare Tax (0.9%) above the federal threshold. This page's example uses standard single-filer assumptions for a quick benchmark.
