CSN study support 2026 – grant, loan and income limit
Estimate ordinary Swedish study support with the full loan for one calendar half of 2026. Separate the grant, borrowing and income headroom.
Method
Exact CSN tables cover 1–26 weeks at 100%, 75% or 50% study pace. Include all income for January–June or July–December, including summer earnings. Income above the limit reduces full support by 61%. Support below an average SEK 149 per week becomes zero.
Worked example
20 full-time weeks with no income give a SEK 20,600 grant and SEK 47,360 loan: SEK 67,960 total. Four weeks give SEK 13,592, not a calendar month. The income limit is SEK 114,676. SEK 150,000 income reduces support by about SEK 21,548.
Limitations
Grant and loan amounts are before income assessment; the primary result is the reduced total. The calendar-month average divides the half-year total by six and is not a payment schedule. Only the ordinary grant and full ordinary loan are included. CSN assesses age, study progress, previous weeks and supplements.
