Employer Cost Calculator
Calculate total employer costs and social security contributions for an employee, including age-based reductions and growth support.
How does the employer cost calculator work?
The employer cost calculator helps employers calculate the total cost of an employee, including gross salary and social security contributions. The standard rate is 31.42% of gross salary and includes pension contributions, health insurance, work injury insurance, and other statutory contributions. The calculator shows both monthly and annual costs and accounts for age-based reductions and growth support for small businesses.
Age-based reductions
For employees born between 1938-1958, employers only pay pension contributions at 10.21%. For employees born in 1937 or earlier, no employer contributions apply at all. This makes it more beneficial to employ older workers and should encourage longer working lives.
Growth support for small businesses
Qualified small businesses can receive growth support which means reduced employer contributions (10.21%) for up to two employees. The support applies to salary up to 35,000 SEK per month. For salary portions above this amount, regular employer contributions apply.
