The formulas
- Sales tax = sale x (6% + local rate)
- Nexus when counted sales are more than $100,000 or transactions are at least 200, in the previous calendar year
- Counted sales = direct sales + marketplace sales
How it works
Figures current as of November 2026.
The rate is 6 percent. Michigan has no local sales tax. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (zero: Michigan has no local sales tax) and shows the state and local parts separately.
A seller with no physical presence in Michigan must register and collect once it has more than $100,000 of gross sales into Michigan, taxable or not, or at least 200 separate transactions, in the previous calendar year. Sales you make through a marketplace facilitator count toward your own Michigan threshold, together with your direct sales.
A seller with a physical presence in Michigan, such as staff, an office or inventory, must collect regardless of the threshold. The tool does not decide whether a product is taxable or exempt; enter the taxable price.
