How Michigan withholding works

State form: MI-W4.

Michigan withholds at a flat 4.25% of compensation after the exemption allowance: $5,900 per exemption claimed on your MI-W4, prorated to the pay period. No brackets, no standard deduction (Form 446, 2026 Michigan Income Tax Withholding Guide).

Current parameters

formula	4.25% of compensation after deducting the personal and dependency exemption allowance (exemptions claimed on MI-W4 x $5,900, prorated per pay period)

What this page covers — and what it doesn't

State method only. Twenty-four Michigan cities levy their own income taxes (Detroit 2.4% resident is the largest) — city taxes are deferred in this calculator's v1 scope and are not computed here.
