1. What is Swedish Income Tax?

Swedish income tax consists of two main components: municipal tax (paid to your local municipality) and state tax (paid to the national government for higher incomes). The system is progressive, meaning higher income earners pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Swedish income tax formula:

\[ Tax = (Income > 625,800 ? (Income - 625,800) \times 0.20 : 0) + Municipal Tax \]

Where:

\( Income \) — Annual income in Swedish Krona (SEK)
\( 625,800 \) — Income threshold for state tax (2025)
\( 0.20 \) — State tax rate (20%) for income above threshold
\( Municipal Tax \) — Varies by municipality (approximately 32%)

Explanation: The calculation first determines if state tax applies (for incomes above SEK 625,800), then adds the municipal tax based on the local tax rate.

Details: Accurate tax calculation is essential for financial planning, budgeting, and ensuring compliance with Swedish tax laws. It helps individuals understand their tax obligations and plan their finances accordingly.
