Michigan's flat 4.25% income tax, explained

Michigan (MI) taxes income at a single flat 4.25% rate rather than graduated brackets, so — unlike the federal system — every dollar of Michigan taxable income is taxed at the same rate. That makes the state calculation simple, but it is separate from federal income tax and from Michigan sales tax.
