SE Tax Calculator
Estimated SE Tax

Understanding the Swedish Tax System (SE Tax)
Calculating your Swedish income tax (often referred to as 'kommunalskatt' or municipal tax, plus 'statlig skatt' or state tax) involves several factors. This calculator provides an estimate based on your reported annual income, municipal tax rates, and church fees. It's important to note that this is a simplified model and actual tax may vary due to specific deductions, regional variations, and other tax-liable income sources.
Key Components of Swedish Income Tax:
- Annual Income: The total gross income earned from employment or self-employment before any taxes or deductions.
- Municipal Tax (Kommunalskatt): This is a flat tax rate set by each municipality, varying significantly across Sweden. It's levied on taxable income after certain basic deductions.
- State Tax (Statlig Skatt): This is a progressive tax applied only to income exceeding a certain threshold (the primary tax threshold).
- Church Fee (Kyrkoavgift): If you are a member of the Church of Sweden, you pay a church fee, typically a percentage of your taxable income, which goes towards supporting the church's activities.
- Basic Deduction (Grundavdrag): A deduction from your income that reduces the amount of income subject to tax. The amount of the basic deduction depends on your income level and age. For simplicity, this calculator assumes a standard deduction or that the net effect of deductions is already implicitly handled by the standard municipal tax rates provided.
- Jobbavdrag (Job Deduction): A specific deduction for employees that reduces the taxable income. This calculator does not explicitly include the Jobbavdrag to maintain simplicity, and its absence might slightly overestimate the tax for those eligible.
How the SE Tax is Calculated (Simplified):
The calculation involves determining your taxable income and then applying the relevant tax rates.
- Taxable Income: This is your annual income minus any applicable deductions (like basic deductions, Jobbavdrag, etc.). For this calculator's purpose, we use your reported Annual Income directly to apply municipal and church fees, and then consider state tax thresholds.
- Municipal Tax: Calculated as a percentage of your taxable income, set by your municipality.
- Church Fee: Calculated as a percentage of your taxable income if applicable.
- State Tax: Applied to income above the 'primary tax threshold' (primär kommunalskattetröskel). For income above a higher threshold, a higher state tax rate applies.
Formula Used in this Calculator:
This calculator approximates the total tax by summing the municipal tax, church fee, and state tax.
1. Municipal Tax Amount = Annual Income * (Municipal Deduction Rate / 100)
2. Church Fee Amount = Annual Income * (Church Fee Rate / 100)
3. Taxable Income for State Tax = Annual Income – (Primary Tax Threshold)
4. State Tax Amount = MAX(0, Taxable Income for State Tax) * State Tax Rate (e.g., 20% on income above SEK 523,000 in 2023)
5. Total Estimated Tax = Municipal Tax Amount + Church Fee Amount + State Tax Amount
*Note: The Primary Tax Threshold for 2023 is SEK 523,000 (approximately). This calculator uses a simplified state tax structure based on this threshold. Actual state tax might involve deductions before this calculation.*
Example Calculation:
Scenario:
Annual Income: SEK 600,000
Municipal Deduction: 32.5%
Church Fee: 1.0%
Primary Tax Threshold (approx.): SEK 523,000
State Tax Rate (above threshold): 20%
1. Municipal Tax = 600,000 * (32.5 / 100) = SEK 195,000
2. Church Fee = 600,000 * (1.0 / 100) = SEK 6,000
3. Taxable Income for State Tax = 600,000 – 523,000 = SEK 77,000
4. State Tax = 77,000 * 20% = SEK 15,400
5. Total Estimated Tax = 195,000 + 6,000 + 15,400 = SEK 216,400
