Income tax

• Municipal tax (kommunalskatt)[1]

  −kr 210,049

  Local

  A flat local tax averaging 32.38% for 2026 (it ranges from about 29% to 35% by municipality), charged on income after the income-dependent basic deduction (grundavdrag, approximated here as a flat SEK 20,000).

• State income tax (statlig inkomstskatt)[1]

  −kr 1,140

  National

  An extra 20% on taxable income above the state threshold (skiktgräns) of SEK 643,000 for 2026, so only higher earners pay it.

• Pension contribution (pensionsavgift)[2]

  Not included

  Other

  Employees nominally pay a 7% pension contribution, but it is fully offset by an equal tax reduction, so the net effect on take-home pay is zero. Employer social fees (about 31%) are separate and not part of your pay.

Social security

No separate employee contribution: it is folded into income tax, or offset by a matching tax reduction.
