(a) Calculate the municipality's personal property exemption loss.
(b) Multiply the municipality's personal property exemption loss by the millage rates calculated under section 13(5).
(c) For calendar year 2017 calculations only, adjust the amount calculated under subdivision (b) by the amount required to reflect changes in prior year taxable values that affect any prior year calculation under this subsection and that can be calculated from taxable values reported under section 151(1) of the state school aid act of 1979, 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1751.
(d) Subtract from the amount calculated under subdivision (b), as adjusted by subdivision (c), the amount calculated under section 16a(2) for captured taxes levied by the municipality not including taxes attributable to increased captured value.
(2) Not later than November 7, 2017, and each October 7 thereafter, for each municipality that is a county, township, village, city, or local authority that provides essential services, the department shall do all of the following:
(a) For calendar year 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 calculations only, add to the amount calculated under subsection (1)(a) any increased value from expired tax exemptions for the current year.
(b) Multiply the millage rate calculated under section 13(5) for general operating millage by the percentage of the municipality's general operating millage used to fund the cost of essential services in the municipality's fiscal year ending in 2012. The department shall calculate each municipality's percentage of general operating millage used to fund the cost of essential services in the municipality's fiscal year ending in 2012, unless the municipality includes the calculation in its comprehensive annual financial report for the municipality's fiscal year ending in either 2014 or 2015 or otherwise reports the calculation to the department in a form and in a manner prescribed by the department.
(c) Multiply the result of the calculation in subdivision (a) by the result of the calculation in subdivision (b).
(d) Multiply the amount calculated under section 16a(2) for captured taxes from the general operating millage levied by the municipality not including taxes attributable to increased captured value by the percentage of the municipality's general operating millage used to fund the cost of essential services in the municipality's fiscal year ending in 2012 and subtract the resulting amount from the amount calculated under subdivision (c).
(e) Add to the result of the calculation in subdivision (d) an amount calculated by multiplying the millage rate calculated under section 13(5) for each millage that is not general operating millage and that is dedicated in whole or in part for the cost of essential services by 1 or by the portion reported for that millage under section 13(7), as applicable, multiplying the resulting product for each millage by the amount calculated under subdivision (a), and adding the results. A millage levied to fund a pension under the fire fighters and police officers retirement act, 1937 PA 345, MCL 38.551 to 38.562, is dedicated for the cost of essential services.
(f) Subtract from the result of the calculation in subdivision (e) the amount calculated under section 16a(2) for captured taxes from the portion of millage dedicated for the cost of essential services levied by the municipality not including taxes attributable to increased captured value.

(c) For calendar year 2017 calculations only, adjust the amount calculated under subdivision (b) by the amount required to reflect changes in prior year taxable values that affect any prior year calculation under this subsection and that can be calculated from taxable values reported under section 151(1) of the state school aid act of 1979, 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1751.
(d) Subtract from the amount calculated under subdivision (b), as adjusted by subdivision (c), the amount calculated under section 16a(2) for captured taxes levied by the municipality not including taxes attributable to increased captured value.
