How are you paid?

How much is that a year, before anything comes out?

This is the figure before tax, not the amount that lands in your account

Your pay stub calls it gross pay. It is what you are paid before federal and Michigan income tax, Social Security and Medicare come out of it.

How many hours do you work in a normal week?

Your usual week, not a busy one

Use the hours you work most weeks. Overtime belongs in the overtime calculator instead.

How often are you paid?

Every week52 paychecks a year Every two weeks26 paychecks a year, usually the same weekday Twice a month24 paychecks a year, usually the 15th and the last day Once a month12 paychecks a year Once a yearone payment for the whole year

It changes the size of each check, not the tax you owe for the year

It only decides how the year is cut up, so the figure you see is the one you would actually receive.

How do you do your taxes?

On my ownsingle, or married and sending in separate returns Together with my husband or wifemarried, one return between you On my own, with a child or dependent at homehead of household

It moves the income bands, so it changes the tax on the same pay

Tax forms call this your filing status. This estimate assumes one income; if your husband or wife also earns, the real figure is higher than this.

Do customers tip you?

No Yes

How much do you get in tips over a full year?

Cash and card tips together, for the whole year.

Are these tips already inside the pay you entered?

No, they are on top of my pay Yes, they are already counted in it

An hourly rate times your hours never includes tips

If you worked out your pay as a rate times the hours you work, that figure is your wages and nothing else, so your tips are on top of it. A yearly salary from an employer who reports your tips usually already has them in it, and your last payslip is the place to check: if the gross on it is bigger than your rate times your hours, the difference is your reported tips.

Do you get paid extra for working extra hours?

No Yes

What is one normal hour of your work worth?

How many extra hours will you work this year?

What does one of those hours pay?

This starts at one and a half times your normal rate, the usual overtime rate. Change it if yours is different, and it stops following.

Do you get a bonus or commission?

No Yes

How much is it, before anything comes out?

Do you, or your husband or wife, turn 65 at any point this year?

No Yes

Do you put part of your pay into a retirement plan at work?

Look on your pay stub for a line like 401(k), 403(b), 457, TSP, retirement or pension.

No Yes

How much goes in over a full year?

Does money come out of your pay for health insurance or a health account?

Look on your pay stub for lines like medical, dental, vision, HSA or FSA.

No Yes

How much comes out over a full year?

Do you claim any children or other dependents?

No Yes

Children under 17

Other dependents

That is $0 of dependent credit for the year. A W-4 counts $2,000 for each child under 17 and $500 for each other dependent.

Did you ask your employer to take extra tax out of each paycheck?

Look on your pay stub for a line like additional or extra withholding. On the W-4 you handed in, it is the box on line 4(c).

No Yes

How much extra over a full year?

If your W-4 shows a per-paycheck amount, multiply it by the number of paychecks you get in a year.

Is anything else taken out of your pay after tax?

Look near the bottom of your pay stub for lines like union dues, life insurance, a repayment or a garnishment.

No Yes

How Michigan's flat 4.25% income tax hits your 2026 paycheck

Michigan levies a flat 4.25% state income tax for 2026, applied after the state allowance/deduction for your filing status. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Michigan take-home pay.

For 2026, Michigan's state standard deduction is $5,900 for single filers and $11,800 for married couples filing jointly; after that, all remaining taxable income is taxed at the single flat rate of 4.25% — Michigan does not use graduated brackets for 2026. As a worked example, a single filer earning $60,000 pays about $2,299 in Michigan income tax (roughly 3.8% of gross) before federal tax and FICA.

What this estimate doesn't include: Estimate assumes 1 personal exemption ($5,900) for single/head of household and 2 for married filing jointly. Several Michigan cities (Detroit, Grand Rapids, etc.) levy separate local income taxes not included here. City, county or school-district income taxes where they apply, court-ordered deductions, union dues, and anything else your specific employer withholds are not in this figure; your pay stub is the authority on those.

Estimates only, not tax advice. The section "What this estimate doesn't include" above lists what's left out; see also our terms and the corrections log.

One rate on every taxable dollar: Michigan's 4.25% flat tax (2026)

Michigan applies a single flat rate to taxable wages for 2026.

Filing	Rate

Michigan's own $13.73 minimum wage — above the federal floor (2026)

Beyond the paycheck: Michigan's 6% sales tax and property tax

Sales tax	6% (≈6% with local)
Property tax	≈1.19% — Above the national median effective property-tax rate.

Local income taxes in Michigan

24 Michigan cities levy a local income tax under the Uniform City Income Tax Ordinance (Act 284 of 1964). Detroit is highest at 2.4% residents / 1.2% nonresidents; Grand Rapids and Saginaw at 1.5% / 0.75%; Highland Park at 2.0% / 1.0%; the remaining ~20 cities (e.g., Lansing, Flint, Pontiac, Battle Creek, Walker, Hamtramck) at 1.0% / 0.5%. Nonresidents are taxed only on income earned within city limits.

Is overtime and tips tax-free in Michigan? Federally yes — and on the Michigan return too

For tax years 2025 to 2028 there is a federal deduction for qualified overtime premium pay and tips (OBBBA caps & rules). FICA comes out either way.

Michigan state income tax: Michigan starts from federal AGI, so there is no automatic flow-through. A state subtraction applies for 2026–2028 but NOT for 2025. (source: michigan.gov)

Overtime: 2025 — not deductible on your Michigan return (still state-taxed); 2026–2028 — deductible on your Michigan return too.
Tips: 2025 — not deductible on your Michigan return (still state-taxed); 2026–2028 — deductible on your Michigan return too.

Four Michigan payroll quirks worth knowing

Michigan's 4.25% state rate is officially confirmed for tax year 2026: the Treasury announced (April 15, 2026) that the statutory rollback formula did NOT trigger because FY2025 general-fund revenue fell 1.56% while inflation rose 2.70% — so the temporary 4.05% (2023) did not return.
On top of the 4.25% state tax, 24 Michigan cities add a local income tax — a Detroit resident pays 2.4% city tax for a combined 6.65% Michigan income tax before federal, while nonresidents working in those cities are taxed at half the resident rate on city-earned wages only.
Michigan gives lower- and moderate-income workers a state Earned Income Tax Credit worth 30% of the federal EITC for 2026 — expanded from 6% by Public Act 4 of 2023 — a refundable credit paid on top of the federal EITC that raises take-home pay after filing.
Michigan's retirement-and-pension income deduction is fully phased in for the 2026 tax year under Public Act 4 of 2023: retirees of any birth year can deduct up to $64,040 (single) / $128,080 (joint) of pension income, and Social Security benefits remain untaxed.
