What a salary really costs — and what's left

For every krona of gross pay, an employer pays more on top and the employee keeps less below. Drag to set a monthly gross salary: employer contributions sit above the line, income tax below it, and what's kept is the gold floor.

Your settings. Stockholm 2026: 30.55% municipal tax (kommun 18.22 + region 12.33) plus the 0.07% Stockholm burial fee; no church fee (non-member). Single, under 66, employment income only. Full employer contribution 31.42%. State tax (20%) on taxable income above the breakpoint ≈ 55,000 kr/mo. Standard 2026 grundavdrag + strengthened jobbskatteavdrag.

Monthly vs. yearly. grundavdrag and jobbskatteavdrag are settled annually at the deklaration, but the employer's monthly withholding already applies them via Skatteverket's tax table (which assumes the month's wage repeats all year). For a steady salary the two coincide, so the yearly figures here are simply twelve equal months. For part-year seasonal staff the table over-withholds and the worker gets a refund. Excludes the public-service fee (~99 kr/mo) and any benefits — a close approximation, not a payslip.
