Breakdown
Michigan's statewide base rate is 6% and its average combined state + local rate is 6% (pre-filled). The rate is editable because local rates vary by exact address and some items are exempt or taxed differently. Statewide rates are from the Tax Foundation, 2026. An estimate, not tax advice.
A flat 6% capped by the constitution
Michigan levies a flat 6% statewide sales tax with no county or city add-ons, so the average combined rate equals the state rate everywhere. The pre-filled 6% is the rate for every Michigan purchase, with no local jurisdiction to look up.
The Michigan constitution caps the rate, which is part of why there is no local layer to vary it. Groceries and prescription drugs are exempt, so those items are taxed differently from the standard 6%. This is an estimate, not tax advice.
