Frequently asked questions
How is salary taxed in Sweden?
Salary is normally subject to municipal tax and, above the threshold, state income tax. Grundavdrag and jobbskatteavdrag affect the result.
Why does municipal tax vary?
Municipal and regional tax rates depend on where you live. This calculator uses the official national average as an estimate.
What is jobbskatteavdrag?
It is a tax credit against municipal income tax for employment income, not a deduction from gross salary.
What is the 2026 state-tax threshold?
The taxable earned-income threshold is SEK 643,000; the 20% state tax applies to the marginal amount above it.

No. Employer social contributions are paid by the employer and shown separately.

No. Church fee, burial fee and occupational pension are not included in this standard estimate.
Is this exact payroll withholding?
