Pay Summary (Per Pay Period)
Understanding Your Michigan Pay Rate
Michigan workers are subject to specific labor laws and tax regulations that differentiate their take-home pay from other states. As of 2024, Michigan's minimum wage is set to $10.33 per hour, though this is subject to annual adjustments based on the state's Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act.
Michigan Overtime Rules
In the Great Lakes State, the overtime pay rate is calculated at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. For example, if your base pay rate is $20.00 per hour, your overtime rate is $30.00 per hour.
Michigan Income Tax Considerations
Unlike states with progressive tax brackets, Michigan utilizes a flat income tax rate. Currently, the Michigan individual income tax rate is 4.25%. However, residents should also be aware of city income taxes. Over 20 cities in Michigan, including Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing, levy an additional local income tax ranging from 1% to 2.4% for residents.
Example Calculation
Suppose you earn $25.00 per hour and work 40 hours per week in Michigan, filing as Single:
- Gross Weekly Pay: $25.00 × 40 = $1,000.00
- Michigan State Tax (4.25%): $42.50
- FICA (7.65%): $76.50
- Estimated Federal Tax (approx): $100.00
- Total Weekly Net Pay: ~$781.00
