1. What is Michigan Net Pay Calculation?

The Michigan Net Pay Calculator helps employees and employers calculate take-home pay after deducting federal tax, Michigan state tax, FICA (Social Security and Medicare), and local taxes from gross earnings.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard pay calculation formula:

\[ Net\ Pay = Gross\ Pay - (Federal\ Tax + MI\ State\ Tax + FICA + Local\ Tax) \]

Where:

\( Gross\ Pay \) — Total earnings before deductions (USD)
\( Federal\ Tax \) — Federal income tax based on percentage rate
\( MI\ State\ Tax \) — Michigan state income tax based on percentage rate
\( FICA \) — Fixed 7.65% for Social Security and Medicare
\( Local\ Tax \) — Local municipal taxes based on percentage rate

Explanation: The calculation deducts all applicable taxes from gross pay to determine the actual take-home amount.
