1. What is the Swedish Salary Calculator?

The Swedish Salary Calculator estimates take-home pay using 2025 tax rates. It calculates net salary by deducting state tax, municipal tax, and social contributions from gross salary according to Swedish tax regulations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Swedish tax formula:

Where:

• Gross Salary — Total salary before deductions
• State Tax — 20% on income above SEK 625,800 (2025 threshold)
• Municipal Tax — Approximately 32% (varies by municipality)
• Social Contributions — 31.42% paid by employer

Explanation: The calculation follows Swedish tax brackets and social security contribution rates for accurate take-home pay estimation.
