Allowance

The Allowance is based on the number of exemptions in the first Exemptions field. It is determined by multiplying the number of exemptions by $750.

How DPS Calculates Tax

To calculate an employee's City of Detroit tax, DPS does the following:

1. Multiplies the employee's gross pay per pay period by the number of pay periods in a year to determine annualized gross wages.
2. Subtracts the employee's Allowance from the employee's annualized gross wages to determine taxable income.
3. Calculates the net income tax by applying Tax Calculation Method 1 to the taxable income.
4. Divides the net income tax by the number of pay periods in a year to determine the amount to be withheld for the pay period.
