Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1 100 kr to pay you 3 500 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.75 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.1% tax rate now rises to 36.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 20.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 42 000 kr a year living in the region of Stockholm, Sweden, you will be taxed 6 770 kr. That means that your net pay will be 35 230 kr per year, or 2 936 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 16.1% and your marginal tax rate is 30.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
