54% is maximum and if you have your own company you can optimize that. 76% marginal tax is incorrect. 25% VAT isn’t added on everything. Freelancing in Sweden is definitely a path for becoming wealthy.


I am including employment tax in that %54 figure, which is a cost as well. So %31 + %33, ends up being roughly %54-53 on the total. Then add VAT.

I am running my own company, freelancing successfully for 2 years now. So I know these numbers from experience.

Yes, you can optimize the %33 out of the %54. %33 is minimum you can get, up to 42K sek salary.
