Does Michigan have local income taxes?

No local income tax applies in Michigan, so the state figure above is the whole of it.

Is Michigan a high-tax state overall?

On income, Michigan takes 3.92% of a $75,000 salary. But the whole burden is three taxes: sales tax here is 6% combined, 38th of fifty, and property tax 1.19%, 14th of fifty. The two pull in opposite directions, which is why a single ranking of "tax-friendly states" tells you little about your own household.

Is this the same as what my employer withholds?

Close, not identical. Withholding follows the W-4 you filed and your state’s equivalent form, which can carry allowances, extra withholding or a second job adjustment this page does not know about. The annual tax is what settles on your return; withholding is an instalment against it.

Form MI-W4 is what sets your state withholding

It claims the personal exemption. Cities with their own income tax use separate forms again — Detroit’s is DW-4.

What Michigan charges as well

Income tax is one of three. The other two do not come out of a paycheck, but they decide what the paycheck buys.

Sales and property tax in Michigan
Sales tax, state plus average local	6%	38th of fifty
Property tax on median home value	1.19%	14th of fifty

The state rate is 6% and local jurisdictions add 0% on average, reaching 6% where you shop. At 1.19% that is about $4,760 a year on a $400,000 home. Work yours out on the property tax calculator.

Withholding is an instalment, not the bill. What the year actually settles at is on the refund calculator, and the dates it settles on are the federal tax deadlines.

What this does not include

Michigan is flat at 4.25% after a personal exemption of $5,900 a person.
Twenty-four cities levy their own income tax on top — Detroit at 2.4% for residents and 1.2% for non-residents who work there. This calculator does not include it.
