Income impact
Estimate how taking parental benefit (föräldrapenning) changes your income using the real 2025-2026 calendar. Pick dates on the calendar or use a full-year preset, then add your benefit days by level (or use Benefit days/week).
Results
Benefit gross (selected days)
Gross parental benefit for the selected dates. We place your benefit days on real dates and apply the correct
daily rate for each date (SGI cap, basic/minimum levels, and 240-day rule when applicable).
N/A
Salary value of those days (if working)
Salary reduction is computed day-by-day from the real calendar.
We calculate salary per workday in each month and only apply it on dates that are actual workdays for your schedule.
N/A
Gross change vs working
Gross change compares: parental benefit (gross) minus the salary value you would have earned while working.
Negative means your gross income is lower during leave than if you worked for those days.
N/A
Net change vs working
Net uses preliminary tax withholding.
Salary withholding is calculated from Skatteverket monthly tax tables for each year in your selected dates (2025 and/or 2026).
If your selection spans both years, we apply the matching table per month. Benefit withholding uses your chosen method.
N/A
Quick compare - benefit days/week
This table recalculates the same span for 1 to 7 benefit days per week. Benefit amount scales with days/week, while salary loss is capped at your workdays/week.
If no dates are selected (Estimate mode), we assume a 52-week year.
