Michigan does not tax Social Security benefits for most residents. Michigan provides varying pension exemptions depending on birth year under a tiered system. Residents born before 1946 receive full pension exemption. Those born 1946-1952 receive partial exemption. Michigan's flat income tax rate is 4.25%. Most Michigan investors should note that the majority of US states tax capital gains as ordinary income at regular state income tax rates. Federal long-term capital gains tax rates (0%, 15%, or 20%) apply based on your total taxable income.
With a Michigan median household income of $59,234, investing just 10% per year ($5,923) at an 8% average annual return could grow to $85,804 in 10 years and $271,048 in 20 years.
