What sets Michigan apart in 2026
Michigan taxes every dollar of wages at the same 4.25%, and a Treasury notice in April 2026 confirmed the rate stays there for the tax year. There is no standard deduction. Each person instead gets a $5,900 personal exemption, up from $5,800, so a married couple filing jointly gets $11,800.
With one rate and a small exemption, the state's cut grows only slowly as pay rises: $1,874 at $50,000, or 3.75% of gross, and $6,124 at $150,000, or 4.08%. Michigan moves up the comparison as salaries grow, from 21st of 29 states at $50,000 to 15th at $100,000 and $150,000.
Your city can matter more than the state rate. Twenty-four Michigan cities levy their own income tax, and none of it is in these figures. Detroit charges residents 2.4% and non-residents who work there 1.2%. Lansing, Flint, East Lansing and most of the others charge 1% and 0.5%, while Grand Rapids and Saginaw charge 1.5% and 0.75%. There is no employee-paid disability or paid-leave deduction on top.
