Salary after tax 2025 – how do I calculate it without a calculator?
To find out how much council tax you pay on your income, you need to start from the gross salary, i.e. the income before tax, and then deduct the current tax that applies to you where you are registered. Different municipalities have different municipal taxes.
In addition, your tax table differs based on age and how big or small your gross income is, which means that it is difficult to say how much you will get left after the tax has been deducted. Therefore, you should check which tax table you have and which tax rates are included in the table.

Ahead of 2025, it has been decided to phase out the working tax credit, lower tax for pensioners and to resume the indexation of the strata limit, which regulates who must pay state income tax.
The various changes mean that some are affected more than others. Among other things, the phased-out phase-out of the employment tax deduction will mean that those who earn more than SEK 64,500 a month will have reduced taxes.
With the phasing out of the employment tax credit, it will also be strengthened. This means that the tax on your work will be lower and give you more in your wallet in 2025.

Will I get more salary after tax in 2025?
How much you get in salary after paying tax in 2025 depends on how much you earn.
Those who primarily benefit from the discontinued phasing out of the employment tax deduction are those with an income of between SEK 64,500 and 170,000 a month. The reason why those with a high income benefit more from this is that they also pay more in tax, both in percentage and in kroner and ören, writes Ekonomifakta.
Skatebetalarna.se explains that the announcement from the government to strengthen the employment tax deduction can result in SEK 2,600 per year for a person with an average income.
