🇸🇪Swedish Net Salary Calculator (Lon efter skatt)

Nettolon calculator — calculate take-home pay in Sweden

Our free calculator lets you quickly work out your net salary in Sweden (lon efter skatt) based on 2024 tax rates. Enter your gross amount — monthly or annual — and the tool calculates kommunalskatt, statlig skatt, and jobbskatteavdrag. Results are shown in kronor (SEK), monthly and annually.

The calculator is designed for employees under 66. It uses an averaged municipal rate and a simplified grundavdrag, and does not include the church fee or individual deductions — your actual net pay may differ. Always verify the result with your employer or the Skatteverket.

How does the Swedish tax system work?

Swedish wage tax is mainly based on municipal tax (kommunalskatt, averaging about 32%), levied on beskattningsbar inkomst (gross minus grundavdrag). Above the skiktgrans threshold a 20% state tax applies. The jobbskatteavdrag is then subtracted, lowering the effective burden — for typical earnings it is usually 22-30%.

Frequently asked questions

What makes up Swedish wage tax?

The main component is kommunalskatt (municipal tax), which in 2024 averages around 32% (it varies between municipalities, 29-35%). Above the skiktgrans threshold (approx. SEK 598,500 per year) statlig inkomstskatt is added — a 20% state tax on the excess. The jobbskatteavdrag is then subtracted from the tax.

What is the jobbskatteavdrag?

The jobbskatteavdrag is an earned-income tax credit subtracted from the kommunalskatt. It rises progressively with income up to a plateau and is phased out at very high incomes. This is why the effective net pay in Sweden is noticeably higher than the 32% municipal rate alone would suggest.

What is the grundavdrag?

The grundavdrag is a basic deduction that reduces taxable income (beskattningsbar inkomst). In reality it depends on income (approx. SEK 16,000-45,000 per year). The calculator uses a simplified flat amount, so the result is approximate.

Does the calculator include everything?

No. The calculator uses an averaged municipal rate, a simplified grundavdrag and jobbskatteavdrag, plus state tax. It does not include the church fee (kyrkoavgift), burial fee (begravningsavgift) or individual deductions. The employer payslip or the Skatteverket assessment is binding.
