Net salary in Sweden

Tax system in Sweden

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.
