Final tax on employment income: municipal and regional income tax at Stockholm's 2026 rate of 30.55%, state income tax, Stockholm's burial fee and the public service fee, after the basic deduction (grundavdrag), less the earned-income tax credit (jobbskatteavdrag), the tax reduction for the general pension contribution and the tax reduction for earned income.
