🇸🇪 Sweden
Municipal income tax (2026 national average 32.38%, set by each municipality and region) applies to taxable income after the basic deduction, plus 20% state tax above 643,000 SEK of taxable income. The earned income tax credit (jobbskatteavdrag) reduces the tax by up to about 52,000 SEK. Social contributions (31.42%) are paid by the employer; the employee 7% pension contribution is fully offset by a tax reduction. This model uses the 2026 statutory formulas of SKVFS 2025:20.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
The model applies the 2026 basic deduction (grundavdrag), the average municipal rate of 32.38% (your municipality may differ by roughly plus or minus 3 points), the 20% state tax above the 643,000 SEK threshold of taxable income, and the earned income tax credit (jobbskatteavdrag) under its 2026 formula. The 7% public pension contribution is fully offset by its tax reduction and is therefore not shown. The public service fee (at most 1,184 SEK) and the small earned income reduction (at most 1,500 SEK) are not modelled and nearly cancel out; burial and church fees are excluded.

Sweden combines municipal tax (~32.37% average) and national income tax (20% above 615,300 SEK). Social contributions (~31.42%) are paid entirely by the employer and are not deducted from the employee's salary. The effective marginal rate for most employees is approximately 32%, rising to about 52% above the national tax threshold. Sweden has no separate employee social security contributions. Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmo are the main employment centres with strong technology and engineering sectors.
