Hiring Cost Calculator – Sweden
Understand what part of your budget goes to gross salary, taxes, holiday pay, and admin costs.
This calculator provides an approximate overview of the monthly costs for hiring in Sweden. It includes estimated payroll taxes, social security contributions, and optional benefits like pension or a company car.
In our example, we’ve used a car like Volvo XC60 to illustrate potential employer costs and the associated taxable benefit for the employee. These are only estimates and not exact values.
All figures are intended as general guidance — not legal or financial advice.
The goal is to help you understand how far your budget can go when hiring in Sweden.
Who is it for?

It’s especially useful for:
