State tax

Michigan income tax

Michigan imposes a flat personal income tax rate on all taxable income, with no tax brackets. The Michigan Department of Treasury recalculates the rate each year based on a statutory formula tied to state general fund growth versus inflation; it has remained at 4.25% for the 2025 and 2026 tax years.

All taxable income4.25%
The rate can change year to year under a statutory trigger formula; Treasury confirmed it remains 4.25% for tax year 2026 because general fund growth did not outpace inflation.

Paychecks are withheld with Michigan's own withholding formula, which approximates these rates over a full year.
