Before Taxes 💰
Nice to see people not seeing it as a taboo to share salary info. Though its kind of public info feel like ppl don't loke to share
True. They actually helped me to be able to bargain well
as a man with 2 boys and a girlfriend who live together, i can say it is hard to make it with a "regular" salary here in sweden, 32% of the salary goes to taxes, then you pay 25% tax on everything else, exept alcohol, that is 40%.... so if you dont like taxes, do not move to sweden! you have to pay ALOT of taxes here... to be able to live as a family here in sweden you need to earn atleast 45000kr a month.
Hi I need some help if you live near kth about accommodation please let me know how to do is wise
@@asraralam2317 look it up online. I live in the north of Sweden so i cant really help you.
If you earn 45k and you partner have a decent income you must be very bad at handling money to not have a good life?!?!!!!
@@MrCABman1972 read the comment one more time.
@@danielostman5805 What did I miss?!? My point was that you can live pretty comfortable with two people earning about 30k a month easily, you don't need even close to 45k a month to live well in Sweden. I guess it depends on your definition of living well though...
I would also say that if you have 2-3 kids then Sweden probably is one of the most inexpensive countries to live in. It is only when you have no kids it becomes more expensive.
I’m impressed how good they all are at English! Have you considered putting your microphone on a skinny stick and holding it yourself at the correct distance from the interviewee? Quite a few of them are holding it too close and causing distortion due to clipping at the audio input of whatever device you’re recording with.
Beccause English movies are not dubbed
yes, its good to have an audio engineering background ✌✌😁😁
You should also be ashamed English people don't care learning Swedish
@@nmg1909 that is shame if they don’t do that. But do you know that they don’t? 🤔
@@PVflying Have you seen one as you have seen here?
I would say that 30K is a normal salary for blue colour workers.
That means that one get about 20K after taxes.
However, the taxes take care of almost all other things, one seldome have to pay for more then ones dayly living costs.
It's 24k after tax
Well, you have to pay for rent, gas, electricity, internet, food, clothes, insurance, car, motorcycle, etc.
Swedes don't get this, but they are poor, compared to all their neighbour countries.
Wages in Denmark are almost DOUBLE of what they are in Sweden.
This is why Sweden has one of the highest percentages of pensioners living under the poverty standard, in all of Europe.
@@erikjohnson8031 Hahaha, you're unbelievably ignorant
*If you are a young youth =6500 after tax
*If you are single both male/Female =25,000 after tax
*If you are a married man/Woman =35,000 after tax
*If you are married with 1,2,3,4 kids=50,000 after tax
*According to my analysis this will be the best for sweden.
Very interesting. Do you know anyone earning like a 60k after taxes? Will it be considered like a extremely good salary?
In Sweden it's really considered ignorant to discuss salary figures after taxes. Normally you compare salaries before taxes.
@@mattiaskallin Discussing salary figures after taxes to see how much you need for a certain standard of living is much more sensible considering that is what you take home with you. You COMPARE salaries before taxes, yes, but that you do for "comparison" between several salary figures as you mentioned.
@@imanshaf8429 That’s right, and I could’ve clearified that. You compare salaries before tax, but you manage your expencies with what you get out after the tax withdrawal.
I would be fine with 70'000
I think the most realistic people here say around 30 000. That goes up as you grow older and work longer in your profession but if you work at like, volvo, and work on the factory floor, somewhere between 25-35 000 before taxes is normal. If you make over 40 000 before taxes you definitely are in the higher earning classes. But if you go to university and such, you will most often make over 40. I don't know if this is in Stockholm or Gothenburg or something because they usually make more, but it also costs A LOT more to live there
The taxes are also based around 30-35% up until 50 000, anything over 50 000 is around 50% I THINK. Meaning you pay 30% of those 50k, and then if you make 55k, the extra 5k is 50% tax. I am not one of these people that makes this but I think thats how it is. If you make more than 50k you may as well pay more anyways 🤷♂️
The median wage in Sweden 2024 is 34,200 SEK. After tax this ~ 27,000 SEK
50k? 60k? 70k? These people are honestly insane.
You need about 20k to live in Sweden: 4k in taxes, 3-4k for food, 6k for housing, 1-2k for transportation and then you have ~5k left for other stuff. With 30k you can afford a large apartment (villa if you're a couple), a nice car and some traveling. 40k+? That's all luxury.
Students can live off as little as 10k just fine honestly (3k housing, 3k food, 1k transport, 3k misc).
Yes, personally for a family with children, minimum amount is actually 40K.
@@akina1053 Yes, for a family, not per person.
Where in Sweden are you getting housing for 6K? Surely not any city
@@markdoyle4918 Literally any city, even Stockholm
@@markdoyle4918 look up Hässelby Hem
Funny thing is Salaries don't increase proportionately as you age in Sweden compared to other countries..
Really?
I like this video, I was looking for information about it.
Vi behöver tala även med arbförmed l, Försäkringskassan osv varför det fortfarande är väldigt milt sagt helt omöjligt matematiskt att försörja sig i landet på heltid och det har ju inte blivit bättre genom årtiondena.

300 kr/hour is 48,000 kr in 20 days. He made it sound like it's a regular salary.
Hr and Payroll managers have left the chat..😉
good to know! thanks!
Its interesting how people think in numbers... when in the end this is not relevant for a GOOD salary (am not talking of a minimum Salary).
A good salary is to be defined in % of what your basic expenses cost you. Starting with your Rent.
If you rent represent less than 30% or you salary, you have a good salary.
(again taking shortcut here, but if you are interested by this kind of things u can look it up for more detais :D)
Måste säga att det känns fortsatt sjukt att man registrerar folk att de har arbete oavsett vad tex en timme i månaden och resten som också är helt omöjliga att leva på ens om man teoretiskt sett bara skulle betala tex en femtedel eller bråkdel av vad man behöver.
Är det så farligt att visa sanningen för statistik en?
Are they talking about salary before or after tax? That's a hudge difference
Before Taxes
@@Lets-Walk-Around wow asking in reddit 30k before taxes seems low, but this video gives me hope I think idk
Normally you compare salaries before taxes.
Ok sa marche 🚶♀️ la moitié avant et l’autre sur place !
Behöver bli även riktiga skulder som desk bolagen kräver in!!!
Is here somebody who works in Northvolt? Is there only 200 SEC per hour?
Only 10% of the population earns more than 50300kr/month
25% earns more than 40500
50% earns more than 33000
75% earns more than 28000
90% earns more than 24600
All of those are before taxes.
The average salary in sweden is about 37500. For blue collar it is 29300 and for white collar 45100.
And the median salary is 34200 which is more of an accurate way to know what the average salary for ”normal people” is.
My basic salary is slightly lower than the median and that is no problem living a good life as a single person with about 9500 in rent. But I get a lot of additional money in my job so I often end up with about 30 after taxes. And I don’t think that is shown in such statistics… so a lot of people probably earns more than what the statistics show but that extra money isn’t counted in the statistics.
Around 30-35 and you will live a comfortable life in general. But what to expect in salary is different depending of where u live. What’s a good salary in Stockholm will be very different from a good salary in Örebro or Gislaved. Taxes will be different depending of where you live and rents, food, petrol, electricity etc… will also be very different.
I only want to add that the median income is actually more like 28k when you look at the collective income per year and not at what salary people have. Not everyone will work 100% for various reasons. While the median salary is about 34k that is not what people actually earn in practice. 50k per month is also much less than 10%, it actually is about 3% who earn that much per month if you look at the income for a whole year.
what exactly is “extra money” like a bonus or profit from a side hustle?
must be nice....I am an American, if I convert my monthly pay to SEK, I make around 14200-14500 a month.....would be nice to make at least 24600 a month like 90% of Swedes....I work full time as well, my job is working at an airport for a car rental agency
I‘m a child 😂 that’s so funny.
Very interesting question. IMO, the pay gap has increased ALOT since the glory days of the social democratic welfare state. Now, the older man saying 50k or over (before tax) is a good salary that would be considered rich/wealthy here in Sweden. My mother, now retired, didn't earn that much, max around 45k maybe as a top level HR-boss in one of Swedens main state agencies. So to make big money then you basically need to be a doctor, lawyer, expert-engineer etc or work in the private sector.If you are employed in the public sector like healthcare and you're not a specialized nurse or doctor, then expect much lower salaries. Public administration or blue collar jobs are around 15-30 K usually.
IF you work with the elderly or actually work to maintain Swedens famous welfare system with healthcare, childcare, care of elderly etc, which are female dominated sectors then forget about ever earning 40-50 k. That's the sad reality here which I hope changes, people doing essential work making Sweden function are paid peanuts and people employed by multinational businesses or private/financial sector make the highest salaries. And that gap is ever increasing. Also now with the inflation and energy prices, costs of living are all around quite high.
Then there is the growing precariat of people mainly immigrant background who work in low-wage or informal sector with unstable work conditions. I love Sweden and the idea of Swedish welfare and equalizing force of the state/public sector but that vision is under threat to be honest. When I was growing up in the 90's-00's, most people I knew wanted to have a good, stable life but not to be rich or wealthy and valued equality and solidarity. Today, due to globalization, everybody wants to live like kings and have servants again. So there are people making 50K and upwards but don't think that that represents the average working Swede, that is a wealthy person in central Stockholm/Gotheburg usually.
That's because you changed nation to society and you don't feel sorry for thirdworlders who came to rob steal or abusing your welfare system people are becoming selfish. I'm baffled when I see like whole western Europe is turning into decay because ugh recession. Now we turn back 180°.
This is True, based on my own experience. I agree with you. @setmymindinmotion
But if you make like 30k after taxes and you wife make 20k and you have 2 kids... Will you be able to save money and travel abroad twice year spending your travel money very wise? I mean not a super fancy holidays, like low cost flight tickets, some Airbnb, etc..
I guess it’s a bit difficult now. Travel is getting so much more expensive. Before Covid, you just go to beach or skiing as you wish. Now you need to plan carefully.
Yes of course. You'll be spending ~10k on food, 10-15k on housing and ~5k on misc. That leaves 250-300k/year for travel or whatever you like. You can travel in luxury 5 weeks/year for that money, easy.
As a Swede you pay 60-75% tax.
Most ignorant people don't even known it.
But if you earn 40000 before income tax then you make a decent middle class living here.
I have a question, is sweden such a great place to live? I hear some American people say that the US should be like sweden
@@SergioGonzalez-qo8qb Both should be as they were. In the 80's...
Har aldrig någonsin betalats ut!!!
If you earn more then 40.000 per month (4000$), then you got some job as some kind of a boss.
A normal household, if both parties are working, you will have roughly 50.000 to 60.000 after taxes together
You don't have to be a boss to earn 40k/month. I'm pretty sure several of my colleges at a social service office had more than 40k, a family member did several years ago working as a consulting nurse, my ex started at 40k after graduating as a teacher. So there's several jobs paying more than 40. And to have 60k after taxes means that both of you need to have about 40 each before taxes.
@@mikaelathunell2822 well... I earn 33k after tax and my girl earns 27k, and that give us the 60k....
@@theblackgoatofthewoods when quickly checking the tax tables that means you earn about 42k before taxes, and she earns about 34k before taxes, witch leaves you with a total of about 38k each- not very far from 40 each
Please What is the lowest income salary by hour in Sweden?
i think it is around 170 kr
All this before or after taxes? Except from the girl that said after taxes 30000kr
All these after Taxes 😀
It's really considered ignorant to discuss salary figures after taxes. Normally you compare salaries before taxes.
@@mattiaskallin why is it ignorant? it’s a normal question
@@pawelbromann2416 I mean it's considered ignorant by adult swedes to compare salaries after taxes, because the default way to compare salaries are before taxes, partly because taxes may be individual, partly because that’s the official figure you and your employer "agreed" on (aka the figure mentioned at your employment documents).
The reason there is a default way to compare salaries is because otherwise it would be hard to compare.
Teenagers getting their first paychecks often don't care about the taxes since they are already subtracted, also they mostly don't have a monthly salary, but are payed by the hour.
Swedes always talks about salary before taxes
Seems a bit unreal considering rent is 1000 - 1400 euros / month. Food quite expensive and so on. Problably the salaries mentioned are for 1-3 years experience in any low job domain.
it is possible to find apartments for 350 euro a month.
@@andersbodin1551really? I couldn’t find anything decent below 700-800 euros in Malmö(only rooms or very old, bad apartments).
50% of the people earns 33000 or less.
75% earns 40500 or less
And 25% earns 28000 or less
So I think most of them were in quite good numbers of what a good salary is.
Average salary is about 37000
And the median is about 34000.
If you earn that kind of money there are no problems living a good and comfortable life.
Even if you have as low as like 25000 it is not that difficult to live comfortable. Especially if you are more than one adult in the household since basically “every” household with more than one adult has as many incomes as they have adults
I like this video. I think the average is 35,000
After tax 30k is enough.😁
In my own opinion i did not experience receiving that much. In all the answers everything was only imagination. There is nobody earning 50k a month here.if you are only an ordinary worker. An ordinary person working as a cleaner receive only 129kr per hour before taxes from the first 6months. After that your salary will be increased.
I think most people are saying this after tax
who can earn 70k per month?
a lot.
Så?
Som sagt!!!!!!!!!
do they all say gross or net numbers??? without knowing that apparently pretty useless numbers tbh !!
Swedes always talks about salaries gross
thanks for the reply : )@@johanfagerstromjarlenfors

Earning now 50K , i would say with that inflation around 60K after tax would be fine

I earn around 37-45k before taxes.
I don't know if these kids know what they talking about.
If u have a partner and maybe 1-2 kids, I must make sure my income can cover all costs alone, if for example my partner looses income for some reason.
Inga utb ännu ju!!!
