Michigan levies a flat 4.25% state income tax on all taxable income regardless of how much you earn. This makes tax planning straightforward: for every additional dollar you earn, 4.25 cents goes to Michigan. However, certain localities in Michigan impose their own income taxes, which effectively raise the combined state and local rate above 4.25%. Be sure to check whether your city or county adds a local income tax.
