Featured listings (paid, always labelled)
A featured listing is a paid placement. It is always labelled "Featured partner" and its links are marked rel="sponsored".
- Price: EUR 200 per 6 months, for one category, excluding VAT where applicable.
- Term: six months, no automatic renewal. We email before it ends.
- Capacity: at most three featured listings per category page.
- Includes: a highlighted spot at the top of one category page (for example accountants, lawyers or relocation), a description of up to 60 words, a call-to-action button, your name in the featured-partners strip on the directory overview, and links tagged with UTM parameters.
- Live: within two working days of payment.
- Editorial independence: paying does not change basic listings, our guides or our tool results.
- Not accepted: gambling, payday lending, multi-level marketing, or advisers who guarantee outcomes such as permits or citizenship. We can decline any request.
- Basic listing: free. Featured placement is the only paid product.

Tax calculator
URL: https://gothenburgexpats.com/calculator/ ("Sweden tax calculator 2026"). It estimates net (take-home) pay from a gross salary.
How it works. All calculation runs in the visitor's browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, there is no API or endpoint, and the page does not read URL parameters. To use it, open the page in a browser and fill in the fields (or read the rates below and calculate yourself, labelling the result as an estimate).
Inputs
| Field | Element | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Gross salary (before tax) | #salary (number), #salary-range (slider 15,000 to 150,000) | SEK. Default 45,000 |
| Period | #period-toggle buttons with data-val | month (default) or year |
| Municipality | #kommun (select) | goteborg 32.60% (default), molndal 31.99%, partille 31.36%, kungsbacka 32.58%, harryda 31.98%, lerum 32.03%, stockholm 30.55%, malmo 32.42% |
| Expert tax relief | #sw-expert (toggle) | Off by default. 25% of gross is treated as tax-free (up to 7 years) |
| Church of Sweden member | #sw-church (toggle) | Off by default. Adds a church fee of 1.20% of taxable income |
| SINK tax | #sw-sink (toggle) | Off by default. Flat 22.5% (2026) on gross, with no allowances and no expert relief |
Outputs: net pay per month and per year, effective tax rate, total tax paid, cost to employer (gross plus 31.42% employer contributions) and an annual breakdown (gross income, expert relief, municipal, regional and state tax or the flat SINK tax, burial fee, church fee, public service fee, job tax credit, total tax and net income).
Rates used (2026): state tax 20% on taxable income above SEK 643,000; burial fee 0.262%; public service fee 1% of taxable income, capped at SEK 1,184 a year; employer contributions 31.42%.
Limitations
- The result is an estimate, not tax advice. Basic allowance (grundavdrag) and job tax credit (jobbskatteavdrag) are simplified, so the result can differ from a payslip by a few percent.
- Only the eight municipalities in the list above. No pension, benefits in kind or other deductions.
- Expert tax relief eligibility is not checked. A separate tool covers it: https://gothenburgexpats.com/expert-tax-relief-calculator/.
- Rates are checked on 8 October 2026 and may change.
Limits
We do not give advice on individual immigration, tax or legal cases. Paid placements are always labelled. We do not accept submissions without the consent checkbox. We answer forms within two working days.
