FAQ

What are ROT and RUT deductions?

ROT and RUT are Swedish tax reductions for household services. ROT applies to renovation/repair work in a home, and RUT applies to household services such as cleaning. The deduction is based on labor cost, not materials.

What costs qualify for the deduction?

Only the labor part of the invoice qualifies. Materials, travel, equipment, and other expenses normally do not give ROT/RUT deduction.

What are the caps for 2026?

There is a combined annual cap for ROT + RUT per person, and an additional specific cap for ROT. If you have already used part of your cap earlier in the year, your remaining deduction will be lower.

Can the deduction be split between two people?

Yes, it can often be split between people (for example co-owners) to use more of the available cap. This calculator shows an even split to help you estimate remaining allowance per person.

Is the result guaranteed?

No. This is an estimate for planning. Eligibility depends on the type of work, your situation, and whether you have enough tax to offset. Always confirm details with Skatteverket and your service provider.

ROT and RUT deductions 2026

ROT and RUT are tax reductions for household services. ROT deduction applies to work for Repair, Conversion, and Extension of your home. RUT deduction applies to Cleaning, Maintenance, and Laundry. In 2026, ROT is 30% and RUT is 50% of labor cost.

Annual limits and caps

For 2026, a combined annual limit of 75,000 SEK per person applies for ROT and RUT together. Additionally, there is a specific ROT limit of 50,000 SEK per person. If you have used part of your cap earlier in the year, it affects how much deduction you can get on new work. Our calculator helps you calculate remaining cap and plan your renovations.

How the deduction works

The deduction applies only to labor cost, not materials and other expenses. In many cases the deduction is applied directly on the invoice and the company requests reimbursement from Skatteverket. You also need enough tax to offset, and the deduction can be limited by your annual caps.

About ROT and RUT deductions

ROT and RUT are Swedish tax reductions that can lower the cost of certain household services. They are usually handled directly on the invoice (the provider makes the deduction and then requests reimbursement).

This article explains the basics and how to use the calculator to estimate your possible deduction.

What is ROT and what is RUT?

  • ROT applies to renovation/repair work in a home.
  • RUT applies to household services like cleaning and similar services.

The deduction is typically calculated on the labor cost, not materials.

What costs are included?

In most cases only the labor portion qualifies. Costs that usually do not qualify include:

  • Materials
  • Travel and fees
  • Equipment and other add-ons

Always check what your provider places under “labor” on the invoice.

Caps and remaining allowance

There is a yearly limit per person. ROT and RUT share a combined cap, and ROT can also have its own separate cap. If you have already used part of the allowance earlier in the year, you may have less remaining.

How to use the calculator

  1. Choose whether the work is ROT or RUT.
  2. Enter the total labor cost.
  3. Enter how much ROT/RUT you have already used this year.
  4. If relevant, enter the number of people sharing the deduction.
  5. Review the estimated deduction and your remaining allowance.

Practical tips and caveats

  • The deduction may be limited if you do not have enough tax to offset.
  • If you are two people sharing the deduction, an even split is a good starting point—but real invoices can be split differently.
  • Use the calculator before you order work, so you can avoid surprises when the invoice arrives.

For official rules and eligibility, always verify with Skatteverket.
