How Sweden income tax works
The official wage source-tax table selects a whole-income withholding percentage from the monthly salary band. The rate already combines the taxes represented by the canton file and changes with the selected canton and payroll tariff.
The complete official table contains a monthly band for every supported canton and tariff combination, so the personalised result shows the applicable rate and amount instead of presenting one misleading national bracket table.
The displayed tax total covers Employment income tax. See the country assumptions for details.
Calculation assumptions
- Full-year employee receiving twelve equal monthly salary payments in 2026.
- Resident employees use official tax table 34 column 1, representing a standard municipal rate of about 34% and including the basic allowance, earned-income tax credit and applicable state tax.
- The resident profile is for a person who had not reached age 66 at the start of 2026.
- Non-residents use the final 22.5% SINK rate only when they have a Swedish Tax Agency SINK decision.
