How Grayling's local tax is calculated

Grayling local tax breakdown
Rate (resident, on gross wages)	1%
Non-resident rate	0.5%
Estimated annual local tax	$620

Grayling is estimated at the resident rate. People who work there but live elsewhere are taxed at 0.5%, which this estimate does not apply.
The non-resident rate -- exactly half the resident rate in all 24 cities, read from each city's own form on 2026-08-21 -- is recorded but not applied; this estimate uses the resident rate for everyone. Muskegon Heights' own booklet states two different non-resident figures in two places (0.5% on its cover page, 0.75% in a stale Line 23 instruction); the cover-page figure is used here.

Grayling: common questions

What is the local income tax rate in Grayling?

1% of wages. On the salary modelled on this page that works out to $620 a year, on top of Michigan state tax and federal tax.

Is Grayling local tax on top of Michigan state tax?

Yes. Local tax is charged in addition to state income tax and federal tax, not instead of either. This page shows the same salary with and without the local charge so the local-only cost is visible on its own rather than buried in a single total.

Do I pay Grayling tax if I work there but live somewhere else?

Grayling publishes a separate non-resident rate, so a commuter's withholding differs from a resident's. This estimate applies the resident rate, which means a non-resident's actual figure will not match what is shown here.
