Saginaw paycheck FAQ

How does Saginaw compare to nearby cities like Bay City and Midland?
Saginaw's 1.5% resident rate sits above some Tri-Cities-area cities and below others. Midland and Bay City also levy city income taxes (around 1% resident), so the Tri-Cities region has uneven city tax rates across its municipalities.
Does the Saginaw rate apply to non-residents working in the city?
Yes, at the non-resident rate of 0.75%. The split between resident and non-resident rates is a common Michigan pattern, and Saginaw's structure mirrors Grand Rapids' 1.5% / 0.75% split exactly.
Is the Saginaw School District a separate tax?
No. Michigan does not allow city-level school district income tax of the kind Ohio uses. Schools in Saginaw are funded through state aid, property tax, and federal sources, not a separate school district income line on the pay stub.
