Michigan Tax Calculator

The Michigan (MI) Tax Calculator is updated for the 2026/27 tax year. Michigan applies a flat state income tax, and many cities levy separate local income taxes. This tool estimates MI state tax, optional local tax (if you add a rate), federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare to show take-home pay.
