Frequently Asked Questions
Michigan has a flat state income tax rate of 4.25% applied to your gross pay. There are no local income taxes in Michigan.
We use the 2024 federal income tax brackets for single, married filing jointly, and head of household. The calculation accounts for your filing status and allowances.
Allowances (from Form W-4) reduce your taxable income. Each allowance reduces your annual taxable income by approximately $4,300, which lowers your federal tax withholding.
