Parental benefit (föräldrapenning)

Enter your details and the results update automatically. If you know your official SGI from Försäkringskassan, use that for best accuracy.

Tip: Use the planner to convert days into weeks/months.
Income & eligibility
Used for yearly caps and thresholds.
Used only if SGI is not provided.
SGI is your official sickness-benefit qualifying income. If provided, it overrides salary × 12.
If not met, the first 180 SGI/basic days are paid at the basic level (250 SEK/day).
Combined for this child (both parents). Used for 240‑day condition logic (first 180 days may be basic level) and to know when minimum‑level days can be used (after 180 SGI/basic days).
Leave setup
Choose the method that matches how you plan to withdraw parental benefit.
These correspond to Försäkringskassan’s benefit levels.
You can be paid for part of a day.
Use 1-7 for calendar days/week. If you withdraw part-days, set the fraction above. Advanced: you can enter full-day equivalents (e.g., 2.5) and keep fraction at 100%.
Tax (optional)
Used to suggest a Skatteverket tax table number (based on total municipal tax rate, excl. Church of Sweden fee).
Optional: estimate net. "Use municipality" uses Skatteverket tax tables (month) with a suggested table number.
