1. What is the Sweden Net Salary Calculator?

The Sweden Net Salary Calculator estimates your take-home pay after Swedish taxes for 2025. It calculates net salary based on gross income, municipal tax rates, and state tax thresholds according to the Swedish tax system.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Swedish tax calculation formula:

\[ Net Salary = Gross - (Municipal Tax + State Tax) \]

Where:

\( Municipal Tax = Gross \times Municipal Tax Rate \)
\( State Tax = (Gross - State Tax Threshold) \times State Tax Rate \) (only if gross exceeds threshold)
\( Gross \) — Annual gross salary in SEK
\( Municipal Tax Rate \) — Typically around 32% (varies by municipality)
\( State Tax Threshold \) — 598,500 SEK for 2025
\( State Tax Rate \) — 20% on income above threshold

Explanation: The Swedish tax system uses a progressive model with municipal taxes for all income and additional state taxes for higher income levels.
