Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 156 157 kr to pay you 497 000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 7.97 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
60.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 48.3% tax rate now rises to 60.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5 964 000 kr a year living in the region of Stockholm, Sweden, you will be taxed 2 877 654 kr. That means that your net pay will be 3 086 346 kr per year, or 257 195 kr per month.
