Includes the 2026 grundavdrag (basic allowance), jobbskatteavdrag (earned income tax credit), skattereduktion för förvärvsinkomst and public service fee, per Skatteverket's 2026 technical description (SKV 433). Leaves out allmän pensionsavgift (the 7% employee pension fee, fully offset by a matching tax credit), the burial fee (about 0.3%) and the optional church fee, and uses the national-average rate rather than your municipality's (28.93%–35.65% range).

≈ 1 708 740 kr gross a year
At a median 7 767 kr/day, contract work grosses about 1 708 740 kr a year over 220 billable days, 116% more than the 790 000 kr permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, pension contributions, and the gaps between contracts.
Contract and permanent benchmarks come from separate samples, so treat the gap as a guide rather than a like-for-like quote. See Solutions Architect contract rates and contractor take-home →
